COVID 19: CHALLENGE DENTISTRY'S FUTURE

   The clock is ticking, and dentistry is constantly developing. However, have you considered that the current difficulty we face is a key to a more promising future?

 

                              In March of the year 2020, the World Health Organization startled the entire world by announcing shocking news. COVID-19 has infected millions of humans, resulting in huge increases in morbidity and mortality. The intangible pathogen poses a challenge to the dental practice of some dentists.

It resulted in the cessation of dental surgeries and procedures as well as the clinic's closure. In order to reopen a clinic, one must have a certificate of operation and observe COVID-19 protocols while wearing personal protective equipment. In conjunction with this, the dentist component is rather dangerous because it involves saliva, which has a high possibility of harboring communicable diseases such as the aforementioned virus. Current dentistry is experiencing a crisis, yet there is a reason and a rise for this brief situation.

                             In addition, the influence and development of technology contribute to the growth and evolution of dentistry. Technology is revolutionizing dentistry, making a dentist's job more efficient and straightforward. From patients to practitioners, it provides a practice with the incentive to be the best. Are you not curious about the future of dentistry? As a studentist, I am quite fascinated by it. In light of the history of dentistry, pliers and threads used to extract teeth in ancient times have been replaced by extraction forceps, elevators, anesthetics, and other techniques. See? I am now observing a dentistry that has a much stronger link with technology, highlighting a key to a brighter future for healthcare providers.
