Demonstrate your true professionalism with loupes, says Stephen Selwyn.

Providing patients with the excellent dentistry they deserve requires the dentist to be able to see clearly what they are doing, and wearing loupes can certainly help, even for those who don't wear spectacles. Dentists who wear loupes have the added benefit of seeing areas that aren't easily visible to the unaided eye whilst also maintaining a better working posture.

Wearing correctly fitting loupes gives the ability to see small details more easily, allowing dentists to work with a greater degree of precision, making diagnosis and treatment safer, more reliable and faster. Ultimately, clinical procedures become easier to perform and less stressful!

'True professionals never declare their professionalism; they demonstrate it.' Nowhere is this statement truer than in dentistry, where the equipment you use in daily practice expresses your commitment to the profession and to your patients.
