Would you trust a robot to perform dental work? Here’s what four kids had to say about the problem. Where do you stand?
Oscar Yocom-Piatt, 10
Robots could be even better than real dentists. They could go way faster and clean your teeth better. Plus, there could still be a real dentist in the room. That way, if the robot breaks down, the human dentist would be there to complete the work.
Claire In, 9
Robots can malfunction at any time, and even a small mistake could be dangerous when it comes to teeth. I think robots are useful in some places. But for something as serious as our health, I believe humans should always be in charge — not machines.
Madeline Martinez, 11
Robots can be programmed to perform a task in a way that is more precise than humans. If a robot dentist were assigned (分配) to me, I’d have no concern about something going wrong. These robots would have been tested first before being sent into the world of dentistry.
Vicky Sun, 12
Everyone’s teeth are different. A robot might not understand something specific that’s wrong. And robots can’t pick up on how someone is feeling. They wouldn’t know if a patient were afraid. Dentist visits can be stressful.
