> I'm not bothered by any of these concerns, none of them are more important than cheap dental care. Is there really any indication that this will make any change to the cost of dental care? Is the dentists the problem or is it the other parts? There still has to be someone there to manage it. Also this machine will not be cheap either, will require maintenance, etc. From what I have seen most robot operated medical things, are not to replace jobs but for precision that humans just can't do. Or to reduce human error. > But normal people used to get their dentistry done by the same guy who would cut their hair. I would strongly advise against saying "normal" when dental anxiety is very much a thing for many people. I would likely even say most people have some sort of dental anxiety. There is a reason that a lot of people don't get their regular cleanings, and I am sure cost is part of that but not all of it.
