Beards interfere with electronic anesthesia because the pads must be adhered directly to the skin. TENS is also not recommended for pregnant women or those with heart disease, seizure disorders, or skin lesions on the face.
Dr. Harre opened his Warrenton dental practice in 1982 after service as a U.S. Army dentist at Vint Hill Farms Station. His dental education and general practice residency were completed in 1978 but he said he never stops learning.
“There’s very little that 1 do now that is the same as when 1 went to dental school,” he said. “There are constant changes and new tricks in dentistry, new technological toys that come on the market.”
And TENS is not the only technological addition to his office. There is also the intraoral camera.
The camera is mounted on a wand-like probe that Dr. Harre inserts into a patient’s mouth. A live, color image of teeth, gums and tongue is instantly displayed on a television mounted on the wall. This “video tour” of the mouth helps patients see firsthand the problem areas Dr. Harre was only able to describe or draw for them before.
Images seen through the OralVision camera can also be captured on a color printer. All Dr. Harre’s patient records will eventually contain a four-plex photo, showing full face, smile, the upper arch of teeth and the lower arch. Photos can be sent to insurance companies for pre-treatment authorizations, or to the pathologist after a biopsy.
The photo can be also split into 16 very small images. Photos this size are placed in the bases of dentures so that hospitals and nursing homes will return the correct teeth to each patient.
