http://thebloggingdentist.com/?p=516 A blog promoting the idea that dentists should be blogging. Also about other dental stuff. Whatever I feel like, really.

Well, last we saw he was drifting aimlessly in space, but soon we will know the next part to his story. At least in the big screen version of things.
I too love the gadgets and gizmos that the field of dentistry incorporates into its day to day activities. Lasers, milling machines, digital x-rays, and digital scanners… things have gotten a lot cooler and more advanced since I set out into practice two decades ago.
As for superpowers, however, I think none tops the amazing influence we have on our patient’s lives (and no, I don’t mean like the Purple Man). To be able to take someone who is terrified and put them at ease or someone who never smiles because of their teeth and have them not be able to stop grinning is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
To me, THAT is our greatest superpower.
