Note one problem I found when I did this same evaluation in my life, years ago, was I found practitioners in a field can’t see outside it.
This dentist can’t realistically evaluate whether or not root canal robots or other tools will change anything about how dentistry is practiced or if it will change the workflow he described.
Frankly I don’t know myself, theoretically you should be able to do hugely better than human dentists with robotics who are rational and fast. And robotics run labs that can do real repairs not the current patchwork by growing new teeth and gum tissue with the cellular age reset to 0.
But whether we see that in your lifetime if you go for dentistry I don’t know. What I do know is you won’t be contributing to such a revolution, there is nothing a current dentist knows that is useful.
