While sitting in my dentist’s chair recently, I marveled at just how scary looking many of the implements on his tray were. And don’t get me started on that contraption I put my face into at the optometrists! It’s hard to believe that these implements of modern medicine will some day appear as quaint — and arguably as effective — as instruments of yore, like the “artificial leech” pictured here.

For a quick walk down memory lane, take a peek at 20 Scary Old School Surgical Tools over at SurgicalTechnologists.net. it’s fun for the whole family! I recommend the trephine if you’re considering trepaning yourself. And really, who doesn’t think about trepanation a couple times a day?!

The modern conveniences that are available to the masses today are incredible. Just one-hundred years ago, only a few people had automobiles.In modern times, virtually every person has a car. Some have more than one.

And think about the folks with mobility problems: Powerful stairlifts did not exist 100 years ago.  Yet today. They have devices to help the disabled be more mobile for both vehicles and at home.

Today’s technology makes it possible for some folks to live a life that would not have been available to them 100 years ago.That is what is going well.

In reality, there are many issues that need to be investigated. Gum disease is a problem which is characterized in the beginning by the need to stop bleeding gums.It’s strange to imagine that we cannot defeat gum disease problems after hundreds of decades of being plagued by it.

Modern medicine may have slipped a bit on that one.  But teeth whitening reviews abound on the Internet today. This is because at-home teeth whitening has become quite popular.  This is something that really wasn’t available one-hundred years ago – not to the masses.

Here is a very important tip related to this, do not ever attempt to use lemon juice to lighten your teeth. This will cause damage to your tooth enamel.Lemon juice is really acidic and can quickly eat away your tooth enamel, please don’t ever use it on your teeth.

Medically speaking, it is getting better and better. Cardiac surgery technology has advanced far. But it leaves me with a sad thought.We should turn our attention to the area that really needs improvement: Prevention.

At the same time, we really should develop our ability to work with nature instead of against. Are there natural substances that can clean our arteries and help us avoid heart surgery in the first place?

Despite that, I’m optimistic.  Now, I’m left wondering what will be available to the average person in the next fifty years.I am eagerly looking towards finding out for myself.
