SPECIAL REPORT

THE IMAGE OF DENTISTRY IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE



IRWIN D. MANDEL, D.D.S.
The multimedia portrayals of dentists and dentistry have expanded in scope. Prevention and esthetics have replaced drilling and extraction in the public perception of dental practice. According to the author, dentists themselves are no longer treated exclusively as buffoons or sadists. Instead, he writes, they are more apt to be seen as solid citizens, occasionally as romantic figures and even as complex, realistic human beings.
