Its cool tech, don't get me wrong.

But maybe, before we remove any amount of comfort with another human being we look at wether all of the dental practices are actually backed by science (which there is some scruitiny over).

But also going to the dentist already isn't exactly pleasant, the pokes, scrapes, drill noises, etc. Maybe we improve that first before sticking it in a robot?

People already have a ton of anxiety about going to the dentist. Removing humans will make that worse.

I realize this is early, but still. I feel like we skipped some things.
