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.
牙医和牙科的多媒体呈现范围有所扩大。在公众对牙科医疗的认知中，预防和美学已取代了钻孔和拔牙。据作者所言，牙医自身不再仅仅被视为小丑或虐待狂。相反，他写道，他们更常被看作可靠的公民，偶尔被视为浪漫的人物，甚至被视为复杂、真实的个体。
