Oral healthcare is known to have been dated back to ancient times. During the past several centuries, dentistry has seen
many improvements and changes. Today, there is an increase in the patient education and hence their cooperation. The
dental providers are equipped with sophisticated ways and methods to provide with effective painless oral care to the patients.
People have increased awareness of the oral healthcare, its maintenance and prevention of oral diseases. There have been major
advancements and evolutions in the field of dentistry, especially in the last 50 years. Fluoridation of water is one of the top
most public oral health initiatives; this led to a huge reduction of carious lesions. Other than water fluoridation, advancements
in composite fillings, introduction of different types of osseointegrated dental implants are introduced and being widely used
by the dentists. We will be discussing the contrasts between the ancient ways of dentistry and the dental world of 21st century;
the role of proper diagnosis, treatment planning, patient education, patient comfort and the painless dental procedures in
treatment of dental problems.
