Covid-19 has manifested itself in so many ways that people are hearing new potential symptoms on a frequent basis. In addition to examining yourself for rashes on hands and feet, a loss of taste or smell, researchers who track potential symptoms are saying that new findings indicate that Covid tongue might be a symptom of the virus, too. 

The world has officially entered the era of digital transformation. Regardless of industry, we have transformed most of our businesses by replacing analog, manual processes with digital technology. Some disciplines have adopted changes faster than others, however. Unlike the biomedicine, automotive, electronic, and aeronautic industries, the world of digital dentistry has taken over a decade longer to catch up. 

Dental practices in the future will have two primary areas of focus – they will still need to be at the forefront of the latest technology, but they will also need to adhere to the most stringent healthcare guidelines for patient and staff safety protection. In addition, as with all businesses, dental practices will succeed by following a team-forward culture, as opposed to an owner-first mentality.

Being a dentist means more than just earning a degree and opening up a practice. The world of dentistry is a dynamic one and it’s important to always keep up with the latest software and technology. Successful dentists attend several conferences a year and never stop learning. They stay up to date by reading periodicals filled with knowledge about the latest hardware and software technology as well as reading new suggestions for increasing patient comfort levels and decreasing patient anxiety.
