When it comes to dental equipment, preventative maintenance is a must. Equipment must be properly cared for to keep instruments working at peak performance for as long as possible, but also you—as the health care provider—and your patient must be kept safe from infection. Through preventative maintenance tasks daily, weekly, monthly and annually, your dental practice lessens the chances of unexpected equipment failures resulting in downtime, as well as more importantly, safety concerns.

The pandemic has brought change to many areas of the dental practice. With change comes the opportunity to explore new protocols, systems, and workflows.

In this article we’re going to share a few questions and thoughts to get you started or help you continue down your path to choosing a 3D CBCT.
