In response to Stephen Hancocks' editorial Sawbones no longer, this paper examines the future role of oral physicians and patients' need for dental professionals to play a larger part in overall healthcare. Whilst the financial structures behind the US and UK dental systems differ, it can be questioned whether the outcomes of impending change will be as diverse.
针对斯蒂芬·汉考克斯的社论《不再是口腔医师》,本文探讨了口腔医师的未来角色以及患者需要牙科专业人员在整体医疗保健中发挥更大作用。虽然美英两国的牙科系统在财务结构上存在差异,但即将发生的变革的结果是否会如此多样化,这是值得质疑的。
