Going to the dentist can be nerve-racking at the best of times - and is especially so during a pandemic.
Now, Singapore researchers have invented a tent-like device that is designed to protect dentists and patients worried about being infected with the coronavirus.
The Dental Dart, which is placed around a patient's head, will soon be available to clinics locally and overseas at an affordable price.
