IMPROVING YOUR DENTAL PRACTICE CAN HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH

Derek Seymour • Feb 13, 2020

Your dentistry practice can improve public dental health, and improvements in technology can make it easier for your practice to do it. Improvements in technology can improve the quality of the dental care that you offer and make it more accessible to your patients.

YOUR PRACTICE CAN IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU THINK

Dental health and overall health go together. One reason for this is that plaque can build up on teeth, and this can contribute to heart disease. In addition, certain systemic health problems can increase a patient’s risk of suffering from serious dental health problems, which is another important reason why dental health is an extremely important public health issue.

For instance, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and osteoporosis can lead to potentially serious problems with dental health. Furthermore, connections between oral health and the health of the rest of the body are still being discovered. One example of a new finding on the connection between oral health and overall health is the fact that poor oral health has been linked to poorer mental health, which could affect public health in many unexpected ways.

HOW CAN TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR PATIENTS’ DENTAL HEALTH?

Due to the fact that many people have dental anxiety, making sure that you’re able to perform cleanings and other procedures as quickly and painlessly as possible will help to ensure that you have a successful, improving dental practice. Also, it will help to ensure that people with dental phobia keep up with their oral health.

Furthermore, improved x-ray technology makes it easier for dentists to catch problems early, which can lead to significant improvements in the health of your patients. Also, the latest technology makes it possible for dentists to offer certain services remotely, which is known as teledentistry. While you cannot offer dental treatment to your patients over the internet, you can offer limited diagnostic services to some patients online. This can encourage your patients to seek appropriate treatment at your office before things start to get serious, which can make a huge difference in your patients’ health!
