A new state-of-the-art dental unit has just opened in Porth, Wales, boasting some of the worlds most advanced dental technology. Initially, the unit functions as a training centre for dentists. For such purposes the unit contains cameras in one of its surgeries that feed back to a screen where dental members can study the procedures. The unit also contains an air conditioned conference centre that can seat up to 120 people as well as a specialised training centre that has 18 individual workstations, where the dentists can practice their skills on dummy models known as ‘phantom heads’.
After a two-year long training scheme, ten dentists will take residence in the unit, which will function as a fully working surgery. Supervising them will be an experienced team of dental surgeons. Using a surgical operating microscope, dentists will also be able to examine and treat root canal problems in a far more effective way than before, due to the detailed photographs of root canal systems that the microscope can produce.

Interestingly, in the national survey of 1,000 Americans, those with a lower income (less then $35,000) were more likely to have had a dental emergency in the past 12 months (vs. 14 percent of those who make $100,000 or more).
