This could help dentists catch cavities sooner and even recognize patterns in your oral health that could lead to better preventive care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternative Medicine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent studies have found success using virtual reality (VR) and music therapy to treat post-operative pain and anxiety in dental patients. As more research becomes available to support these techniques, you can expect to see dental practices adopting them to help make a more comfortable and pleasant experience for their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants and Orthodontics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to improved procedures in dental implants, experts expect an increase in orthodontic patients requesting them as part of their treatment plan. In fact, already more than 20 percent of patients who underwent orthodontic intervention have had dental implants placed within the last five years, and that number is only expected to increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainable Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a greater push out there to \u201cgo green\u201d both in patients\u2019 daily lives and when it comes to dentistry. Whether it\u2019s by using environmentally friendly materials like biodegradable toothbrushes, to reducing radiation and waste with digital X-rays, many dental practices are embracing the future and working to eliminate their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, no matter what the future holds for dentistry, you can rest assured that your dentist will make educated choices that will best protect you and your oral health, keeping your smile healthy and happy both today and well into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Dr. Hansen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitepeakdental.com\/meet-dr-hansen.html\">Dr. JD Hansen<\/a> strives to make each of his patients feel safe and comfortable no matter what type of care they are receiving.
