Now Dentists Can Save Lives
Dental students and technicians are now able to prepare for emergencies with a new computer simulation program.
When you think of emergencies, you generally don't picture them happening in the dentist's office. Unfortunately, the stress associated with some dental work can sometimes trigger health problems in patients. A CBS affiliate in San Antonio, Texas recently discussed a new computer simulation program to prepare dental workers for emergencies such as heart attacks, allergic reactions, and fainting.
