New Technology
A new dentistry machine made in 2011 used to kill bacteria in the mouth. This machine shoots pulses of UV waves killing the bacteria. 3 foot machine, with xenon gas which is harmless is inside this machinery. It helps cleans thousands of peoples' rooms all around the hospitals. No people have yet died, so everyone has cleaner mouths, healthier mouths. Xenon is produced Brian Cruver in 11/02/11
