There are some high-tech systems found at your neighbourhood dental practice these days - from therapeutic lasers to computer-aided design. Dr. Ernie Wotton, a dentist for close to 20 years, is familiar with these and other technologies. He and his staff at Antigonish Family Dentistry use them everyday.

It seems every place is computerized these days, says Dr. Wotton. And the use of computers has evolved far beyond scheduling appointments.

Over the past 20 years, computers have moved beyond the reception area, to the examination rooms where they play an important role in patient care.

Dr. Wotton says computerized technology has benefited both patients and staff through improved products and reduced time needed for certain procedures. The taking of X-rays is one example.
