With the main objective of decreasing the spread of the COVID-19, the US government settled that people need to wear a face mask in public places. We see everybody walking in stores, parks, cinemas, and even on gyms wearing masks, but what happens while seeing your dentist? It might seem like a weird question, but the dentist does need to see your mouth.

During the visit, your dentist will be examining your teeth so we will not be able to wear a mask. Under this situation, both patients and dentists are under a high chance of being directly infected with the virus.

Everyone attempts to stay as safe as possible, and to accomplish this goal, Dr. Sergei Shirman in South Charlotte, just implemented Safe-T-Shield in his dental office.

This appliance was both designed and manufactured by Design Ergonomics. It strives to end with the risk of not wearing a mask and contracting the virus while going to the dentist. This mechanism uses a Hepa filtration system, which operates under the main objective of disinfecting particles that could escape from the patients' mouths.

According to studies, no cases of Covid-19 have been attributed to dental practices around our country. Even with it, we do not feel protected without wearing a mask. Thanks to this tech, both patients and doctors will feel and be safer than they used to.

Shirman's office is the only one using this technology around the country, but the other 500 to 600 machines are pre-ordered. At this point, we want to try everything that promises to decrease the spread of the virus, and we trust in tech and experts to stop the spread of the virus.
