I recently asked questions before about what is the way to go dentistry or dermatology, people tell me it is more competitive in Dermatology and you have to achieve like all A's and do fun activities, with surgery and all, but in the south lots of people don't go to the Dermatologist, basically in California. I also I having thoughts about becoming a dentist something, that is really interesting to me, with helping people with their smile plus I will get good business becuase of the fact of lots of sweets and spicy foods are down here, so I will help alot and recieve a lot, so from all the things I explain what is more competitive, and would have a better chance ???
Is Dermatology or Dentistry more Competitive ???
You can't get to dermatology without getting into med school. After that you have to specialize in dermo and that is probably competive depending on what school you attend. Dentistry is a whole other ball game. You have to apply to dental school just like med school and go through 4 years of school, but afterwards, you will be a general dentist. If you plan on specializing after that, its unbelievably competitive and yes, as an undergrad you need to make crazy grades to compete with these guys whether you plan on going to med or dental school.
I suggest you shadow some Dr.s in your area. Good luck!
Reply:dermatology is a lot more competitive primarily because reimbursements from insurance companies are quite high. however, intellectual content is low. but hours are great (no real emergencies. actually there is one ). you get to help people in both derm and dentistry. community dentistry is low tech but it is high on satisfaction obtained from human interaction. derm is 9 years of traing after college whereas dentistry is only 4 if you don't specialize. i hope this helps.

What happens after dentistry (in the uk)?
if i fisnished a 5 year dentistry degree in the uk, what happens next? where do i start work? what kind of salary would i get ? i read in the job adverts 'associate dentist 75.000+' what does associate mean and how many years it takes after graduation to become one and earn this kind of money please if u know help. this will be an important career advice!!!!
What happens after dentistry (in the uk)?
An associate is a junior dentist, it means he does not own the practice. Immediately after qualifying you need to do a Vocational Training year, which is basicially a year where you are supervised by a trainer. After that you can do what you like.
You could buy your own practice but that is unlikely, most dentists start as an Associate whilst they gain experience and save money.
The amount you earn will depend on the contract you have with the Principle ( The dentist who owns the Practice). It is usually worked out as a percentage of the gross income you generate. ( the Principle will take the rest and use it to pay your nurse, your lab bills, electricity etc.)
The advantages of being an Associate is that you are guaranteed an income, the Principle runs the risk of you not earning enough to cover nureses wages, lab bills etc.
Reply:WHO KNOWS .....WHO CARES ....
Reply:after u finish u ll be a dentist an u can work may be u can join dentistry union..i think u can earn much money,dont care about it..may be after that if u want,u can study on doctoral degree,to become for ex. orthodontist..try to find someone in uk to get more information..

Reply:ask your DENTIST
Reply:1st i would look around some dentists get your feet under the table and see how that goes congratulations for finishing hope all the best for the future
Reply:hello, where did you obtain your degree!!! for heaven,s sake you must have been told you have to get a vocational traing post first for a year, which you should have got organised before you took your finals, and because of the new contracts this is the only way you will get work in england and wales, the next time you can do this will not be umtil feb 2007 so you are pretty much stuffed

Anyone else in dentistry ever had this?On Monday my arm,shoulder,neck,back began causing extreme pain!?
I have been in dentistry for 24 years and I am so upset! All I know is teeth! I love what I do, but now I am in so much pain I can hardly use my left arm. The Dr. yesterday said it is vertebreC7 in my neck causing nerve damage. Has anyone else had this problem from leaning over patients or for example a surgical extraction on the upper where you are really trying to see your root tip and you are bending your head every which way around? Any tips would be greatly appreciated even tips on better posture. I am mad at myself for this happening, but now I can only learn to live with it. Thanks to you all.
Anyone else in dentistry ever had this?On Monday my arm,shoulder,neck,back began causing extreme pain!?
I am with you brother, 20+ yrs in dentistry and Feb 2005 had major back and neck issues. Tried everything shy of surgery. No improvement. Mar 2007 went to a chiropractor that specializes in the Gontead Technique all pain and symptoms gone almost instantly. Cost was less than $150 which included very high quality radiographs. My physical therapy visits far exceeded that which were basically worthless. This may be something worth investigating. It was non-invasive and effective for me. I thoroughly agree with the previous comments of good loops, which I also use and promote good posture. Best of Luck and I also never thought of dentistry as a physically damaging profession and let my guard down.
Reply:Hi,
i am dentist as well and i never felt like you but
my mom does dentistry already 26 years and she had the same problem. What she did was some physiotherapy and exersises. it never healed completely so she got used to it and says that it comes now only 1-2 times per year.
the best you could do is to ask your ortopedic specialist.

Reply:Do you wear loupes? If not get your self fitted for a good pair and have the rep take the working length measurements at your office with you sitting beside your patient chair (get one of your staff to play patient for you!). A good headlight that attached to your loupes will also help ensure that a bright light is shining exactly where you are looking. The other thing would be to change to an operators chair that has arms - there are several brands out there. Orascoptic makes all three - loupes, light and chair and may well offer a discount if you purchase all three! By consistently using this equipment then the odd occasion when you may have to twist and torque your body probably won't be a problem because everything will be so rested.

Question regarding previous heart condition and sedation dentistry.?
I have a unique situation going on. I have an absolutely irrationally huge fear of the dentist and all things that go along with the experience, so I'm considering sedation for my next, and also first in a very long time because of previous very bad experiences with previous dentists, try with dental work. When I was a little kid (age 4) I had my final open heart surgery to correct a ventricular septal defect - two holes in my heart, but have since been cleared medically, and I'll be 20 this year. I'm worried though, is it still safe for me to undergo sedation dentistry despite my previous heart condition? Any answers and input would be greatly appreciated as I'd rather not get my hopes up and gather the courage to walk into the office and then be told it can't happen. Thanks. (:

Is "biological dentistry" an ethical science? Could it be harmful?
Is this considered a real discipline by the ADA or any other peer organization? Why does the American Cancer Society say this about "biological dentistry" on their website?
"...clinical studies that have been published in peer-reviewed medical journals found no link between mercury-containing fillings and the development of cancer and other diseases. The amount of mercury absorbed by the body from amalgams is so small it is considered harmless. A study of US dentists found that dentists themselves have higher mercury levels in their bodies than patients with mercury-containing fillings, because of daily exposure at work. However, the dentists showed the same disease patterns as everyone else, and actually outlived non-dentists by about 3 years."
Is "biological dentistry" an ethical science? Could it be harmful?
biologic dentistry might actually being doing conventional dentistry a favor. all those quack jobs out there are actually going to buy into this nutty philosophy and i'll be left with normal patients.
i actually watched that video that was just posted above me here and what a good laugh. dental implants cause "an interruption in magnetic fields"!!!! hilarious. so far in my experience they've made people cry with joy when they are able to eat for the first time in years.
to answer your question, no, biologic dentistry is not and never will be a recognized field of dentistry. they are preying on the conspiracy theorists and other easily influenced members of society and using fear tactics as the bait.
i'm sure that the american cancer society would love to point the finger at dentists if they got the chance. for those of you not in the know, there is quite a rivalry between dentists and physicians. nothing ugly but it's fun to pick on the other side. if anyone actually found a link to anything that made you unhealthy in dentistry the world would turn on it's head. example: remember the reports years back on the dirty water lines in our equipment? it's no fault of the dentist but we identified the problem and promptly fixed it.
what it all boils down to is a small group has come up with this nonsense and now they funnel people to mexico for extractions. you couldn't advertise this in the US because you would lose your license. there is NO published research in any respectable journal that supports anything that they say. in fact, 99% of the statements they make don't even have fake referrences much less reputable ones.
i wish there was some big conspiracy about mercury, fluoride, or anything else in dentistry they say makes you sick because i would be the first to jump ship and speak out against it. the truth is that because of modern dentistry, people keep their teeth much longer than 50 years ago and they live a longer happier life because of it.

Excerpt from Chapter 3 "Trust Me"
"Let’s take a closer look at the ethics of modern dentistry. As you will see in this article, for the majority of dentists it is all about money and little about the cavities, since cavities have declined dramatically in the last 20 years. This article from Reader’s Digest sets the tone for what comes later in this book. Suffice to say that you will find dentists’ credibility poor when they tell us to trust them, their dental association, or the dental industry. Of course there are good dentists out there, but you will see that the majority cannot agree on the simplest diagnosis, so they surely must be ignored in their statements about the safety of amalgam."
Reply:Excuse Me! Because my fillings (20+) were improperly drilled out last spring...I nearly died!! After years of numerous "auto-immune illnesses" and several surgeries and endless days in a pain clinic, I self-diagnosed with Mercury Poisoning...(have tests to prove it). Like an idiot I went to my regular dentist who drilled %26amp; drilled %26amp; drilled (at my insistance)...and I landed in the Hospital (Yale-New Haven), so toxic they didn't know if I'd live!! Your ignorance astounds me. The ADA will soon be sued by millions of us "baby boomers" as we get sicker %26amp; sicker. You are NOT immune!
Reply:lol, this is bollocks. Not only is the general dentist NOT healthier than the rest of the population, they have one of the highest suicide rates, the highest rate of alcoholism and birth defects among any other profession and this is not uncommon knowledge.
They did a study in my country New Zealand and found out the old dental nurses of the time are now suffering classic back fire problems from working with mercury, many reproductive problems, birth problems and on it goes.
Why do you think mercury has already been banned in places like Sweden? Why do some areas now require by law to put up a warning sign in their office about amalgam and the mercury contained within?
Are you not aware of this? Or are you blissfully playing "I'd rather remain ignorant and play games" :) Because not only are you denying, you are going beyond that and even suggesting that the average dentist is actually healthier!!!! Wow! That has to be one of the funniest things I've heard yet, but obviously a desperate desire to push the denials one step further.
There are a slowly, but growing number of dentists moving into the mercury free realm. So when one looks up dentistry, they will no doubt be finding more and mre biologic dentists available for them.
The dentists I find in biologic dentistry have already been a dentist for close on 30 years. Much experience and a great deal of that was working with amalgam. Why at this stage of their life would they rid it from their work? Why dont you find out, you may learn something :) Or is it too uncomfortable for the general dentist to consider? I think so.

Pharmacy or dentistry???
Hi,
I am 17 years old and I have only a year to choose what I want to become- a pharmacist or a dentist?I definately want to study in the UK, and I am taking my CAE this summer for that reason.But let's say the big problem is (apart from that I am really worried whether I would pass the exam with the suitable grade)that I don't know which profession to choose :(:(
My classmates are discusing the same topic but this does not help me a lot.Can someone tell me how many years you have to study to become a dentist and a pharmacist?I've heard for dentistry is 8 or 9 years and as for the pharmacy -4 years?
Please, if someone could tell me the advantages and disadvantages for both this jobs I'd be really thankful.
And of course the money they get per annum ?
Thank you all in advance.
Pharmacy or dentistry???
So... Pharmacy and Dentistry are totally different. Im in Dental School in the US. You have to do 4 years of undergraduate studies both unless you enter a six year doctor of Pharm program, which will require u to decide right now. I recommend volunteering at a dental office (so u can see what dentists experience, u may not like the mouth) and volunteering in a pharmacy or work as a pharm tech (it might be extra boring to you).

Pharmacy or dentistry???
So... Pharmacy and Dentistry are totally different. Im in Dental School in the US. You have to do 4 years of undergraduate studies both unless you enter a six year doctor of Pharm program, which will require u to decide right now. I recommend volunteering at a dental office (so u can see what dentists experience, u may not like the mouth) and volunteering in a pharmacy or work as a pharm tech (it might be extra boring to you). I love dentistry because i can directly help be people feel better about themselves, because everyone loves a pretty smile :) So experience is the key, good luck in ur decision!

Why is Dentistry so hard to get into (the course in college )?
You have to have AAAAB and the have to be in high level . To get into a course in Dentistry in the uk why is that .

Why is Dentistry so hard to get into (the course in college )?
I was just at a meeting last night and the general feeling is that it is now harder to get into a dental school than medical school. This is in the US, but I don't know about the UK.
It's just very competitive. Too many students and not enough openings.

Should I go into dental hygiene or dentistry?
Is dentistry easy? Is it easy to get into a program? I dont know. Help please.
Should I go into dental hygiene or dentistry?
Getting into a program is getting harder and harder. There is a swelling applicant pool for most healthcare professions. Last year the mean acceptance into dental school was a 3.6 GPA. That's pretty competitive in my opinion. If you want to put the time into the schooling, dentistry is the way to go. If you dont want to spend the time and money, hygienists do quite well. Good luck.
Reply:you can make more money and call your own hours of working if you do the dentistry=depending on the education you have to get into the program
Reply:Dental Hygiene Programs in my state require a 3.5 GPA and 21 ACT score. The interview and essay is not a picnic either. I doubt I'd have made it if I had to do it now. I've been a hygienist for 21 years and I do love helping people learn how to be healthier and smarter. My main complaint about the field is the lack of respect some dentists give us. If you do become a dentist instead of a hygienist I hope you will appreciate your hard working, money producing staff and let them know it. And.....don't make them ask you for a raise.
With either profession, you need to have strong math and science backgrounds. It is not hard if you stay focused and determined...it can be very brain numbing at times though...Good luck deciding.
Reply:Dental hygiene and dentist programs are both NOT easy. They are BOTH very hard to get into. It may take you years to get into a program. To be a dentist you need to most likely go to a 4 yr college first (major in a science) and then apply to a dental college. Dental college is also very expensive. To find out the local colleges for both programs check out the ADA.org website and search on there. They list all the colleges that have the programs.

Do you still feel pain with sleep dentistry whilem getting a deep cleaning?
im going to have my teeth deep cleaned.. has anyone ever done it with sllep denistry instead of getting the needle?? i herd its still painful if you mouth is numb.. will i still feelk the pain if i get sleep dentrisy?? i dont want to feel NOTHING!!
and how long does the sleep dentistry take to wear off?
Do you still feel pain with sleep dentistry whilem getting a deep cleaning?
I am not exactly sure what you mean when you say "sleep dentistry" but if it is what I am thinking of then you will be fine.
What I understand "sleep dentistry" to be is that you are kind of put under a hypnotic trans and you are just kind of "asleep" but aware... if that makes sense.
I hear that there is no pain during the procedure. Of course there is going to be pain after, but that is what drugs are for! lol.
Don't worry about it. You are going to be fine! There is NO PAIN!!!
Reply:You feel but don't remember. If it is going to be something painful they will numb you anyways to prevent the pain.

Hi,
I am 17 years old and I have only a year to choose what I want to become- a pharmacist or a dentist?I definately want to study in the UK, and I am taking my CAE this summer for that reason.But let's say the big problem is (apart from that I am really worried whether I would pass the exam with the suitable grade)that I don't know which profession to choose :(:(
My classmates are discusing the same topic but this does not help me a lot.Can someone tell me how many years you have to study to become a dentist and a pharmacist?I've heard for dentistry is 8 or 9 years and as for the pharmacy -4 years?
Please, if someone could tell me the advantages and disadvantages for both this jobs I'd be really thankful.
And of course the money they get per annum ?

hey,just caught your email, well as a science graduate here in australia, i would say that being a dentist certainly earns a lot rather than a pharmamcist, apparently dentistry is among the top paid job here, Bsc in dental science takes three years to complete plus you could actually practice by the end of the second year while 4 years to pharmacy and i'm pretty sure its the same elsewhere, if u like digging into ppl's mouth, then go for it...just encouraging you to do dentistry 'coz ma younger brother wants to do the same...hopefully somethings are clear, counsellors would provide better guidance! just sending you a link on dentistry and pharmacy below:

How much more does sedation dentistry cost as opposed to regular dentistry?
I need close to $2,000 of work done on my teeth, but I get extremely nervous when I know I have a dentist appointment comming up. When I am at the appointment, I get even more scared and i've had a panic attack. I've been reading people's experiences with sedation dentistry and it sounds like the way to go for me. I am also aware that it does cost more, but my question is how much more? As I stated before, I need around 2,000 dollars of work done, so approximately how much would that be if I took the sedation route?
How much more does sedation dentistry cost as opposed to regular dentistry?
Only your dentist can tell you what the difference would be. Depends if you have insurance as well.
It can be a bit more, but it is worth every penny.
Reply:oh the same thing happened to me. i have EXTREME dental phobia. it's way more expensive to get sedated. they do it by hour so its very expensive plus theres more risk involved when they have to sedate you. i just managed to suck it up and they used laughing gas on me now.

Is cosmetic dentistry reliable and right for me?
My teeth are in good shape with the exception that I have a approx. 1/4 inch gap in my upper 2 front teeth. I want to have cosmetic dentistry done, but I am a little nervous about the durability over time, and the after product. Any free dental advise would be helpful.
Is cosmetic dentistry reliable and right for me?
Each person is different, and what is right for one is not right for another. Go and visit a dentist who can give you an estimate for what you may need. Often it is a free consultation. That's what I do. I give options and let the patient decide.
A simple treatment that works sometimes is to add just a little bit of bonding in between the teeth the get them to touch each other, but you have to be careful that the teeth don't look too fat afterwards. With this bonding treatment if you don't like it, you can remove it without hurting your own tooth enamel.
Good luck
Reply:My advice is worth exactly what you are paying for it, but here goes:
If the ONLY problem you see is the small gap, then veneers are probably not a good choice. Bonding, perhaps, but not veneers which would remove a small amount of healthy tooth structure.
Please explore some alternatives, such as Invisalign, before making a final decision.
If your teeth are otherwise healthy and shaped the way you like, maybe the little gap is something unique about you. Are you really sure it bothers you enough to change it? Some little "imperfections" are very attractive. Loren Hutton (a supermodel from the 60's) made a good living with a small gap in front.

Fascinated with dentistry.. always have been!?
What does it really actually take? A BS in biology and then dentistry school after? How long is that? What are the realities here?
Fascinated with dentistry.. always have been!?
Usually an undergraduate degree is required -- not necessarily biology, but you have to have taken certain classes, including biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics. Some schools will accept students who have completed only 3 years but have met all requirements, but most students have a degree. Some schools also have early acceptance programs where students complete 2-3 years of undergraduate studies then are given acceptance into dental school -- these programs tend to be quite competitive.
Dental school is generally 4 years; there are a few schools with accelerated programs of 3 years. So, for most people it takes at least 8 years of education after high school, but there are some ways to get it done faster. Unlike medical school, a residency is not required -- some people do them, but the majority start practicing right out of school. Dental school is a big commitment, but if you love dentistry, it's worth it!
Reply:Depends... I would consult a local dentist and see the steps he/she took. Most dentist run their own businesses, perhaps a minor in business along with the biology.
Reply:Four years Dental School and perhaps a year or two for a residency. You should not be squeamish about putting your hands in someones mouth.

What Massachusetts Dentistry Lets the Parent come in with child?
My daughter had her first dentist appoint around 19 months at Small Smiles and she went in by herself, I didn't know that was their policy until after I went into the backroom, I felt so awful sending my young one in their by herself but she complained of tooth pain and I needed her to get checked immediately, but now that I look at it I feel as though I should have been allowed in that room, she has a follow up next month with Small Smiles but I want to be in the room with her while she gets her teeth checked, any suggestions?Does any one know a dentistry that allows parents in the room? I can't send her by herself. I did not even get to meet the dentist, and I was not instructed on how to properly brush her teeth.
What Massachusetts Dentistry Lets the Parent come in with child?
hi
not sure about your area. I know out here in arizona most will not let parent in either. they say something about it upsets the child more which I belive is BS. good luck
Reply:Most of them do. Call the dentist's office before making appointment and check. My dentist (in NJ) actually prefers a parent in the room with dentist/hygienist to keep the child calm.

Do i stand a fine chance for getting into uni for medicine or dentistry in Germany??
Are classes taught in German or English. I would prefer English so please let me know of the uni that teaches in English.
Thanks.
Medicine/Dentistry in Germany?
Acces to medicine and dentistry programs of study in gemany is limited, depending on each ones NC /the average grade in the school degree).For example, to study medicine, one currently needs to have an NC of at least 1,6.In the german grade system, a 1,0 is the best theoretically posssible grade, a 6,0 the worst.Very few students get such a degree, in my age group at Gymnasium, only two of 80 had a 1,8, none had a better grade.I don't know how your A-levels translate into that system, sorry.
I don't know whether british A-levels will get you into german uni, you'll have to have your degree recognized.There is a chance you'll have to do a preparatory year first.
Classes are generally in german.There might be few exceptions, but the whole program will not be in english.You'll have to pass a german test (DaF) anyway before being accepted.
Being a NON-EU sitizen will additionally require you to get a german student visa, which requires proof of a certain sum of money so you can live on it.

Sedation dentistry?
I just started going to a new dentist (my old one retired), and he offers something called "sedation dentistry," which he says will let me sleep through the entire appointment while the dental work is being done. Is this really as good as it seems? Are you actually asleep the entire time, or just drowsy and relaxed?
Sedation dentistry?
I hate going to the dentist, even now, when I'm over 50, I have sedation every time i so. they usually start with laughing gas, the they use something like Valium to relax you. at that point, you couldn't care less what is going on because your out there somewhere, then they put a sedative in to put you to sleep.
great way to get over the fear of dentists. just be sure your insurance covers it. mine didn't, so I had to pay out of pocket.
Reply:Depends on what kind of sedation they are offering. Some offices do IV sedation and you will be out for the whole thing. Others offer "twilight sedation" where you you will be VERY sleepy during the appointment, but can still respond to them. Either way is a good way to go if you are extremely nervous about dental work.
Reply:Sedation dentistry refers to using conscious sedation techniques in the dentist's office. It is not general anesthesia like in the operating room at the hospital.
Conscious sedation involves the use of oral medications to relax and sedate you along with nitrous oxide gas (laughing gas). You still breath on your own and can even respond to the dentist. The good part is that u don't care what the dentist is doing and you don't usually remember much about the appointment.
So if u have a lot of work to be done or have a fear or phobia about dentistry, it's great. Be sure to have someone drive u home from the appointment.

Sedation dentistry?
I hate going to the dentist, even now, when I'm over 50, I have sedation every time i so. they usually start with laughing gas, the they use something like Valium to relax you. at that point, you couldn't care less what is going on because your out there somewhere, then they put a sedative in to put you to sleep.
great way to get over the fear of dentists. just be sure your insurance covers it. mine didn't, so I had to pay out of pocket.
Reply:Depends on what kind of sedation they are offering. Some offices do IV sedation and you will be out for the whole thing. Others offer "twilight sedation" where you you will be VERY sleepy during the appointment, but can still respond to them. Either way is a good way to go if you are extremely nervous about dental work.
Reply:Sedation dentistry refers to using conscious sedation techniques in the dentist's office. It is not general anesthesia like in the operating room at the hospital.

Study dentistry in Indonesia?
i am a form six student i would like to study dentistry at indonasia

Study dentistry in Indonesia?
Hi,
Using google I found a couple of universities who have dentistry degrees:
UI:
http://www.fkg.ui.ac.id/prg/fkg_maha.php...
Gadjah Mada:
http://www.ugm.ac.id/content.php?page=4%26amp;...
I'm not a dentist, but I have had some terrible experiences with dentists in Indonesia, so it would be great to see some more professional dentists being trained.
Alternatively, why not visit or email a good local dentist and ask their advice. Ask where they were trained. I'm sure most dentists would be happy to help
Good luck!

NHS dentistry - is it free.?
A few minutes ago a question was asked aboiut NHS dentistry and Isobel answered that her husband got it free because he was over 60. Does anyone else above 60 get it free?. My wife and I are over 60 and we still pay - £42 on my last visit for a check up and a tiny filling.
NHS dentistry - is it free.?
An NHS dentist charges at NHS rates, slightly cheaper than private. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and pensioners have to pay, all they get free is eyesight tests.
Reply:its free for pensioners
Reply:There are still a few dentists who accept NHS patients, but they are few and far between, try the NHS direct website. Good luck.
Reply:Depends which part of the UK you are in.
With devolution Wales and Scotland fund healthcare differently.
To really rub it in there are no prescription charges in Wales!!

Reply:This is useful, take a look.
Reply:No, it isn't free. SOMEONE is paying for it.
Reply:NHS dentistry is NOT automatically free for those over the age of 60. It is free for pensioners who receive Pension Credit (and if you're not sure if you get this you probably don't).

Cosmetic Dentistry?!?
My teeth are relatively straight, except my canine teeth (or "eye" teeth) stick out way further then the rest of my teeth, and there very pointy. They're also uneven, one tooth is way longer than the other. How can I get this fix with cosmetic dentistry? What would they have to do (bonding, reshaping, recountouring, veneers) ? How much would it cost about, and what age at the youngest would they be able to do it (im 15 btw). Thanks in advance!
Cosmetic Dentistry?!?
They would more than likely reshape the teeth and do bonding. I was just in the dentist this morning to get a cleaning and I talked to them about bonding. My teeth are perfectly straight, but the way my eye teeth are shaped there is a bit of a gap...nothing major but since I'm anal about my teeth, I want to get it fixed. They said it would cost around $220.00 PER TOOTH...and thats w/ insurance. Its because its considered cosmetic surgery. Hope this helped!
BTW you could get it done at your age.
Reply:you can just get them sanded down a bit from your dentist to make them even %26amp; not as long
Reply:Depending on the amount your teeth are sticking out and down, you could have simple enameloplasty(reshaping and recontouring) done. This should not be done if a lot of tooth structure needs to b removed as this would cuase sensitivity. Also first keep on eye on ur teeth and make sure that they are not moving. If your canines are sticking out already,you probably have impacted 3rd molars. You would want to consider removing these as they will cause even further crowding. Generally between 18 -24.
Good Luck

Anyone ever have cosmetic dentistry?
Recently I have been thinking about cosmetic dentistry, unfortunately it is so expensive I cannot afford it. Insurance does not cover cosmetic dentistry unless it was a result of an accident.
I am so ashamed of my teeth. I regret not taking better care of my teeth when I was younger, I feel bitter that my parents never gave me braces when I was younger because they couldn't afford to, I feel bitter that my parents didn't force me to take better care of my teeth. My parents fiqured they have bad teeth so whats the big deal that their son will too. They are couple of the best parents I could ask for, but I really am bitter at them for not caring about my dental health when I was a kid. I remeber many dentists scolding my parents for not taking me to the dentist and for not looking after my teeth. It is not all their fault, I admit I was the one who was careless with my teeth. My parents never stressed the importance of dental health when I was a kid, so I didn't think it was important.

Sounds like you are blaming your parents for all things wrong with you, they are not as much at fault as you think, I think you need a Therapist then a Dentist

Has anyone done sedation dentistry? I am petrified to go to the dentist and haven't been in years.?
My teeth aren't in horirfic shape because at home I have excellent dental habits. ( I use a sonic toothbrush 3 times a day, floss, rinse, don't eat many sweets, ect.) But I have noticed one little piece of filling has dislodged and I know I should go. In my area there is a dentist offering "sedation dentistry". They semi put you out or in "twilight sleep" and you don't even know anything until everything is done. They can do hrs. of work in one visit instead of coming back for multiple visits(and multiple sleepless nights worring about it!) If anyone has had dentistry this way I'd be so happy to hear about your experience.
Has anyone done sedation dentistry? I am petrified to go to the dentist and haven't been in years.?
yes, I was a lot like you, I waited years to go to the dentist,[my biggest fear in the world, is just sitting in a dental chair, once had a panic attack, when having a wisdom tooth removed]. I did not go to a dentist, after that event for 10 years. Then 2 years a go, I needed 2 root canals %26amp; a nother wisdom tooth removed, I was petrified!! I called lots of dentists in my area, untill one of them explained,"twilight sleep", to me. I had never heard of it before, but the dentist, exsplained that I wuold'nt feel anything, or even remember it. It was true, I had all the work done in one visit, no pain , no memory a bout it. And it did not make me naucios, it worked great. After wards I went home and slept most of the day, even better I am now going to the dentist every 6 months, [I do ask for "gas", when I have my teeth cleaned, because I still get a little nervous, the staff understands completly. My teeth are perfect now, and look great, because I get them cleaned regularly. I highly recomend having it done, It was I good expirence for me, thanks for telling a bout your fear,[I thought I was the wimpest dental patient in the world].. You will do great, and your teeth will finally stop hurting, best wishes.
Reply:go fpr the sedation dentistry
it is great!!!
you will not feel a thing and it will be quick
i had the same fears
i would get a panic attack just thinking about going to the dentist
they use nitrous oxide..which is laughing gas
or a 24 hour pill that puts you out for a while
it is the only way to go!!
Reply:Sedation dentistry is great; worth the extra money spent more so when multiple dental work needs to be performed on a paranoid patient. Waiting room to waiting room and you won't know what happened in between! Have somebody else drive the car for you, up and down.
Reply:I'm just like you, totally terrified of the dentist and as a result didn't get my teeth looked after like I should have because I wouldn't go to the dentist. It all caught up with me, I was in constant pain but too scared to even make an appointment! My daughter in law came to my rescue and made an appointment for me - I found a sedation dentist online but wasn't brave enough to even call-does that tell you how petrified I was? Anyway, my DIL took me to the dentist and after I discussed things with the him-and yes I cried with fear - I had the best experience of my life-if a dentist visit could be called pleasant! He gave me 2 pills, one to swallow and one to put under my tongue until it dissolved, after that, I really don't remember much, I felt no pain, I do remember being somewhat aware of the work being done but it was much like a dream. I went into the chair at 9:30am and came out of the office at 4pm (told you I needed a LOT of work). My daughter in law came with me and drove me home-I was very "out of it". I was given some pain medication but never needed it. I have since had a second visit for the rest of the work, I was given a pill to take the night before at bed time, and one to take an hour before my appointment. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU DRIVE. My daughter in law drove me to the surgery, I sat in the chair and remember absolutely nothing else. Only 3 hours for that visit. I won't say I look forward to going to the dentist but I am no longer petrified. Sedation dentistry is definitely the way to go, I promise you won't feel a thing and you'll almost enjoy the whole experience. It's wonderful to be finally free of all that fear and worry about your teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry question?
Does anyone (any dental hygenist or other person) know what product is used in cosmetic dentistry that adheres to your tooth, when a dentist builds up the tooth. What's the product made of, what's it called, what brand name is it purchased under, and where could I buy this product (website please).
Cosmetic dentistry question?
There are hundreds of products and 50 different shades to choose from, also you need a bonding system along with the type of composite. It can only be purchased through a dental supply company. You need more facts on what you want.
Reply:i have veneers and they are stuck on there with cement.
Reply:What they usually use is an epoxy resin that's mixed to order, and it's a special dental product, not the sort of epoxy you'd buy in a hardware store (that would be the wrong color and likely poison you as well).
If you need a tooth built up, see a dentist. If you don't, don't mess with this stuff, it's not for kids. DEFINITELY not the sort of thing to play with for Halloween fangs, if that's what you were thinking of.
Reply:You could buy the stuff and have no clue now to use it. They all come with directions, but not with experience. They can not be used by anyone other than a dentist according to federal law. If you were a dentist you would not be asking this question.
But to answer your question, yes I know what it is, what it's made of and where to get it. You don't stand a chance of purchasing it or knowing how to use it if you do.

Hi!! I'm spanish and I'm going to try to answer you the question since could hel you before. So you´re 18 and you are aiming to go to a spanish university. Yo have to know that it isn't easy... You have to know how to speak spanish, otherwise you won't be able to study or to understand the teachers. But I think you can learn in a few time.. don't worry about that. Then you have to do an examn that every foreigner and native should do, that is called "Selectividad". in which you have to choose some subjects to make the exams...Depending on the marks you got you can apply for some degrees or not...I have to tell you that for dentistry (odontologÃa) it's about a 7'5 out of 10...In publics universities as the "Universidad Complutense de Madrid" you have to pay costs for registrations, and other few more expenses but not important ones..
But, first of all, you have to improve your Spanish...

Hot Dentistry Topics?
Hi,
Anyone in here know of any good dentistry topics that dental professionals might be interested in? Something that will capture their attention. Something new.
Thanks for your help.
Hot Dentistry Topics?
This may or may not be interesting to the whole dental community, but orthodontists and oral surgeons are very interested in the topic of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADS). These are small, temporary implants that are placed to aid with orthodontic movement that was previously impossible. In fact, certain implants have even been used to correct skeletal open bites without jaw surgery.

I am studying in dentistry in india.after compleing bachelors in dental how can i join masters in USA?rules?
First of all, u cannot do Masters directly in the USA. If you want to be in clinical dentistry itself you have to go to the USA and take your NBDE exams, Part 1 and 2.. Part 1 at least and then try to get admission into a dental college, which depending on the school is for 2 or 3 yrs at least. Then u would get a DDS degree( which is like the BDS in India) and you have to take a lisensure exam about the same time to work in the US. you can go to www.ada.org and check all this out.

when you do csmetic dentistry they wont want to make up a gap in your teeth by making one or 2 bigger, it will usually involve making several teeth bigger so its not noticible.

Celebrity dentistry..................?
as a nation should we aim for dentistry for our children to match Brian Freidman´s?
Celebrity dentistry..................?
I live here in Miami, Florida and nearly everyone I know have good teeth, i don't remember last time I saw someone with a black tooth or badly misaligned teeth. But then again we spend billions of dollars and years of painful orthodontist visits for kids. So I guess the right balance would be healthy teeth but not necessarily artificially forced to match an unrealistic standard of beauty created by the media. From what is in the popular culture it seems the British could improve when it comes to teeth health and we could stand to be less obsessed.
Reply:Who's Brian Friedman?
Children's dentistry starts at birth. Child dental health is the responsibility of parents, dentists often only fix the results of neglect. Obviously cosmetic treatments such as orthodontic alignment are outwith the parents' control, but decay is not.
Then again, if it were not for parental neglect a whole raft of dentists would be out of work.

Family Dentistry with kids 13,10,and 9, they have medi-cal insurance, does the dentist clean their teeth?
They live with Dad. I have parenting time Thursday's after school and every other Sunday. They went to the dentist. Had xray's of teeth, and a floride rinse with bubble gum flavor was done. They needed a cleaning! The stupid women behinde the counter said "The dentist only cleans adults, not children" I almost went flying across the counter to give her what for! Family Dentistry says on the front door, no doubt. Should I make an appointment for a Thursday and take them myself? I really want to find another dentist, But the kids live with Dad. Can I do that?

Ok, first of all what Spartan said is completely ignorant and incorrect. Children are supposed to get their teeth cleaned, we start hygiene in our office as young as 3 years old sometimes. AND it does not make you lose any coating on your teeth, omg, lol! Getting your teeth cleaned is 100% safe and very good for your teeth and the only thing being removed is tartar and debris. Children 13, 10 and 9 should be getting routine cleanings, re-think your dentist.
Reply:Usually the hygeinists do the cleaning, even for adults. I don't know why they would say that though.
Reply:Medical is not insurance; call it what it is. It is the taxpayers paying for your health care.
Reply:I cannt understand why at this age your kids need their teeth cleaning?? Dentist assitant was right in a way everytime you police teeth you loose some of coating of your teeth which donot regenerate. That why most dentist donot clean kids teeth.
Good general care and eating habit should be able to maintain their good oral hygine. you better practise that and teach children to take care of their teeth.
Reply:surely you can set an appointment with a hygienist at the same office? or check with your children's schools regarding dental or medical if you have a limited budget for insurance.
do you have joint legal custody? you can make these decisions you know...just let the dad know. peace

Cosmetic dentistry not finished and i swallowed a tooth...?
hi
has anyone that had extensive cosmetic dentistry ( ie implants, crowns and bite adjustment) had any problems with the fitting of it all? What happened in the process and how long did it take for you until you got the teeth you always wanted? Have you swolled any of the teeth in the process??
My work started 3 years ago, when i had several implants. They went ok and then i went to another dentist to get crowns fitted on all the teeth implanted. Because the bite would no longer be correct, the dentist had to " re- adjust" it and it is taking ages.. Went to the dentist 25 times, sometimes for 4 hrs appointments... As i am now at the latest stages ( before my finished polished and glazed crowns can be fitted) my dentist is fitting my teeth provisory- and is not cimmenting them properly so that he can take them out easy. The problem is, i swallowed one "unfinished" crown and i am annoyed because I cant smile! Is it normal for one of your teeth to come unglued and swallow it?
Cosmetic dentistry not finished and i swallowed a tooth...?
I would say no its not right i have crowns fitted and never had one come loose...Are you sure about this dentist ? could you not get another opinion.I think it disgusting you should have to go through this if it was me i would be kicking up a real storm don't sit back and take it complain my dentist would be going mad about this sort of treatment.... GOOD LUCK
Reply:I have had 2 permanently fixed crowns break off in the past, never swallowed one though. Get your rubber gloves on, beware of biting yourself on the ***.

Is there anyone who knows about dentistry course in uneversity?
I want to come and do dentistry in Canada .I have A-level qualification from England.
I don't have much information about Canadian education system, all I know is that I have to a foundation degree before doing Dentistry.
Is there anyway that I can do dentistry directly?
Is there anyone who knows about dentistry course in uneversity?
Most applicants have at least a BSc....some have an MSc as well. At the University of Toronto there are about 1300 applicants for 200 seats,,,so the competition for entry is fierce. The course is 4 years. There are also faculties at Western (London Ont.) Halifax, Saskatoon and BC...but Toronto is considered to be the best training...due to the proximity of about 7 teaching hospitals. I don't think anybody is admitted to the course without at least a BSc.

Entry requirement for dentistry in germany?
i am from the UK(but not native) and cant pay the UK universities fees. I want to apply to Germany for dentistry(its better and less costly!).
What is the typical entry requirement in terms of academic grades(high school grades) like for eg. AAA in a-levels in the UK?? what is it for dentistry in Germany? do they have a-levels?? please help.
((((I am able to fund myself for Germany study!)))))
Entry requirement for dentistry in germany?
For most subjects, most continental European universities have open admissions policies, but a very large fraction of students fail out. I'm not sure if this is true for medical or dental programs, but for almost everything else, it definitely is. You will probably get better answers if you post this on yahoo.de in German.

Another question for you all about dentistry.?
I'm a dentist.
I'm sure you all know that medicine is an extremely diverse science that includes every single aspect of the body (mouth included). If it's related to the human body, it's part of medicine.
Not so with dentistry. Dentistry is defined as the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment (nonsurgical, surgical or related procedures) of diseases, disorders and/or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and/or the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body.
Hence, while a practicing dentist must know at minimum something about virtually every area of medicine, dentistry itself is limited to the head and neck (and mind you, only one dental specialist--oral surgeons--treat areas outside of the oral cavity).
Does a profession treating a very specific area of the body need to have NINE different specialists?
A doc for the gums. A doc for the roots. A doc for crowns. A doc for fillings. A doc for braces, etc. etc.
Another question for you all about dentistry.?
Dentists who specilaize in pain management also work outside of the oral cavity. Consider, if you had an invasive combination periodntal and endodontal infection in a hard to access area of the mouth would you want to be treated by the general dentist who may not have seen something like this before or the specialists who deal with these problems all day long. Are you serious, punk?
Reply:Thank you for minute description of your responsibilities and far reaching talents.
I'm a patient of a man who is a master mason and a great progressive Dentist who loves his profession and always explains options and procedures. He also is a forensic specialist who spent time at the World Trade Center examining teeth for identification purposes.
We discussed the metallurgy of gold crowns on one occasion.
Since melting and rolling of platinum and rhodium is my profession, I was interested to learn the metals added to gold crowns to make them hard enough to resist bending because of jaw pressure.
My parents had the resources to correct an over-bite in my teen yrs. It involved extraction of all wisdom teeth and two tops and bottoms. It allowed my over sized teeth to be corrected with braces. I've has a few root canals and in later yrs. crowns in molars.
Presently he's trying to convince my wife to have to have titanium supports to allow him to replace a front tooth she lost playing football at age 14. *Please correct me on this. He explained that there are many more tooth color selections when doing this procedure than replacement teeth with a bridge.
I take my hat off to you for all your wonderful service and care!

What is the bare minimum of dentistry school you can go through to graduate?
Please don't tell me 8 years because my uncle went through 7 years before he was an accredited dentist.
I'm expecting to go through school constantly, probably go throughout the summer even. I want to finish as soon as possible. Im just going to put all my energy throughout this . Can you go to dentistry school in the summer?
What is the bare minimum of dentistry school you can go through to graduate?
If you have AP credits your G.E's will go faster. If you do summer and , winter intersession you can do your G.E's in a year. Then a year and 1/2 for your major. After your major you apply to med school which will take 4 years, almost no matter what. So the quickest you can do it in is 6 1/2 years if you are fast, however average is 8 + years.

How much math is involved in dentistry school?
Dentistry is a medical career so it would need a strong background in science and probably only basics in math.
Reply:dentists earn lots of money so I guess they need to be good at keeping track of it all, but to learn dentistry you need a really good grasp of sciences including chemistry, not so much maths

What do you think about laser dentistry?
i have a cavity, but im terrified about going under the drill (and being numb). i've only had dental work done once, and i had to use anestesia. I was wondering what you think about laser dentistry. anybody ever had it?
What do you think about laser dentistry?
Dental work using a laser has only limited use. It can work on small cavities pretty well, but larger cavities probably still need the use of a drill. It's not the total answer.
Because of your fear, you might consider nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or conscious sedation in order to get your dental work done without pain. Local anesthesia --- an injection using Lidocaine usually -- works on most procedures, but you may also fear the injection. Conscious sedation doesn't put you totally to sleep, but you should not feel any pain. It's usually given in pill form, but many dentists prefer to use an intravenous form (IV sedation) in order to control the amount of anesthetic that is given to you. Call around, or check dentists in the phone book, to see who offers this service. But, do make sure you get to a dentist for treatment.

Is there a possible orthodontic/cosmetic dentistry treatment available for this problem?
I've had braces for about two and half years, and got them off just under a year ago. I feel as if my orthodontist hasn't done a good job. My teeth feel like they have been pushed way too far back into my mouth making it really uneasy and uncomfortable. I'm completely unsatisfied with the results I have recieved. Is there a specific orthodontic/cosmetic dentistry treatment available that can help fix this problem? Or do I have to just consider getting braces again?
Is there a possible orthodontic/cosmetic dentistry treatment available for this problem?
Were your teeth like that when your doctor took your braces off? Have you worn your retainers? If you haven't worn your retainers, then your teeth have probably moved. Teeth move extremely fast. If you have worn your retainers and your teeth looked like that when they took the brackets off then you probably should have said something when they took the braces off. Is it maybe your just not used to the new look and feel of your teeth?
Reply:One of the ways to test foor a poor job is to see if you can glide your eye teeth over each other, as if you were putting a piece of thread there.
As well, when you bit down as if to chew food, push your chin back with your hand, so that you are bitting with your lower jaw almost as far back as it will go. When you look in the mirror at your bite, your front upper teeth should be in front, but only slightly in front of your lower teeth, and all the molars should be touching.
the main purpose, apart from alignment of your bite, is to have straight teeth. If they are not straight, and you don't have a killer smile, you might wish to see a top cosmetic dentist for veneers... but I warn you. Major buckos.

Extreme dental anxiety.. do I need laughing gas, laser dentistry, AND IV sedation?
I have EXTREME dental phobia. I might need some cavity fillings. I've heard about waterlase laser dentistry, but still heard someone still needed a shot for it, just no drill. I've also heard people taking laughing gas and still being awake and feeling pain. I took 1mg of xanax the other night and it didnt do much. What should I do? Just find a dentist with laughing gas, laser dentistry, and just in case IV sedation for a cavity filling? I cannot see a needle going towards my mouth, not as long as I am somewhat conscious. Please help... this is from bad childhood experience with dentists.
Extreme dental anxiety.. do I need laughing gas, laser dentistry, AND IV sedation?
No, all of these together would be overkill. If you are truly that frightened, then an IV sedation will likely be the least stressful for you.
However, relax for the moment. Unless you are in pain that needs immediate treatment, your first appointment will only be a complete exam and x-rays. There will be no needles involved for that. Your dentist will use a sharp instrument that can sometimes seem frightening but all he/she is doing with it is poking the hard surfaces of your teeth to determine their condition.
When you book your appointment, clearly state that you just want an exam at that appointment. Don't book your cleaning at the same which some offices prefer to do. If your anxiety is that deep-seated it might be a bit much to handle being in a dental environment for two or more hours.
When you see the dentist discuss your anxiety with him/her. Dentists are quite accustom to fearful patients and usually very empathetic. If you don't get that sense from this dentist, move on to another until you find one that you feel is capable of understanding your anxiety. Don't forget that you are a patient, but also a consumer in this. You get to choose who you want to be your dentist so find someone that you can feel comfortable with. I would look for a dentist that specializes in IV sedation or "sleep dentistry". Though, with the right dentist you may surprise yourself and find a comfort level that will help you work past your fears and eventually be okay without full sedation.
At the exam they will determine what work you need done, if any, and explain the treatment options available. Ask all the questions you want. Too often fearful patients are in such a hurry to get out the door that they fail to get the answers they need only to find themselves at home later fretting because they don't know what's happening. And if you do forget to ask, then call the office and ask the doctor to call you to discuss it. Understanding your treatment is often critical to achieving some command of your fears.
Lastly, yahoo answers probably isn't the best place to get information for an extremely anxious patient. Bad news always travels faster than good news so when you ask 'how painful is a root canal' you are guaranteed to get several responses reciting horror stories. Meanwhile, the other 70 - 80% of root canal patients that had painless, uneventful root canals are seldom heard.
Good luck!
Reply:Funny thing, I feared needle as a kid, and my dantist never used them for fixing small cavities.
After first dental fixing with local anestesia (with injection) I refuse to get teeth threated without it.
Of couse, first time it was quite scary. But in generall, the shot itself is painless in most of cases, and you wont feel the dentist working afterwards.
The problem with laughning gas is, it is not as effective as local anestesia.

When you see the dentist discuss your anxiety with him/her. Dentists are quite accustom to fearful patients and usually very empathetic. If you don't get that sense from this dentist, move on to another until you find one that you feel is capable of understanding your anxiety. Don't forget that you are a patient, but also a consumer in this. You get to choose who you want to be your dentist so find someone that you can feel comfortable with. I would look for a dentist that specializes in IV sedation or "sleep dentistry". Though, with the right dentist you may surprise yourself and find a comfort level that will help you work past your fears and eventually be okay without full sedation.
At the exam they will determine what work you need done, if any, and explain the treatment options available. Ask all the questions you want. Too often fearful patients are in such a hurry to get out the door that they fail to get the answers they need only to find themselves at home later fretting because they don't know what's happening. And if you do forget to ask, then call the office and ask the doctor to call you to discuss it. Understanding your treatment is often critical to achieving some command of your fears.
Lastly, yahoo answers probably isn't the best place to get information for an extremely anxious patient. Bad news always travels faster than good news so when you ask 'how painful is a root canal' you are guaranteed to get several responses reciting horror stories. Meanwhile, the other 70 - 80% of root canal patients that had painless, uneventful root canals are seldom heard.
Good luck!
Reply:Funny thing, I feared needle as a kid, and my dantist never used them for fixing small cavities.
After first dental fixing with local anestesia (with injection) I refuse to get teeth threated without it.
Of couse, first time it was quite scary. But in generall, the shot itself is painless in most of cases, and you wont feel the dentist working afterwards.
The problem with laughning gas is, it is not as effective as local anestesia.
If a dentist wants to quit dentistry, what other jobs is she best suited for, and what companies want her?
My Wife is a dentist who has practiced for four years and no longer wants to do dentistry. What companies would be interested in hiring a dentist who no longer wants to drill and fill, and what sort of jobs fit her education and experience?
If a dentist wants to quit dentistry, what other jobs is she best suited for, and what companies want her?
If she is willing to stay in the field, but a speciality of it, she should try opening up a cosmetic dentistry practice.
She can make a lot of income, and practise a different scope from the typical "drill and fill".
Other options (the sales rep is a great idea) include teaching at a local university or college. She may be able to teach dental hygiene or junior years dentistry courses without a PhD in Dentistry.
Also, check with the government and local police services. They may need dentists for anything from designing public dental health promotion programs to forensic dentistry.
Lastly, she could work for a company that sells dental products, not as a salesperson, but as an inventor.
Good luck!
Reply:How about Patterson or Henry Schein Dental. This are companies, who distribute dental supply to dentist and dental laboratories. She could work as an sales rep. for any company, that distributes dental supply.

Not the right major for me? (Dentistry)?
I've been in physical therapy school for 3 semesters but decided to switch major for several reasons. Mainly because I didn't like it at all, and the other reason was because I've a very weak build. I don't have the muscle power needed for physical therapy nor do I have the endurance needed for continuous therapeutic exercises.
I want to switch to dentistry. My dad says it is not the right major for me because it requires great muscle power when it comes to pulling molars out! He says that his friend, who is a dentist, says that.
What do you think? Is it really that hard?
Not the right major for me? (Dentistry)?
You need to evaluate your reasons for going into dentistry.
It can be very stressful. You are working with highly tense people and that tenseness carries over to you. Also, you are taught to value very high standards of work and people tend to think that dental treatment should last forever. For this reason many dentists tend to strive for perfection, thus increasing their stress level.
As far as physical strength, it is not necessary. I have taught hundreds of girls to be dentists, most of them slight of build. Brains not strength is needed to remove teeth, even the toughest ones. If you need to apply heavy duty force, you have not prepared the bone adequately before removing it.
Look into your motivations before making this serious career choice.

What is a good and inexpensive dentistry school in New YOrk?
Hi i am a senior in high school graduating this year, and decided to become a dentist, it is something i really want to do. i believe it is a great carrer to go in. i dont want to become a dental assistant, i want to become a dentist. so do you know any good schools, my gpa is 92 and i was accepted to all of the colleges that i applied to. so after my 4 years in college where would i go, what dentistry schools are avaliable in new york. can you list ones that i would need to go to after my 4 years in college. and if there are any dentist out there, adive is good if you have any.
What is a good and inexpensive dentistry school in New YOrk?
Dentistry - great field to be in if you're a sciencey kinda person.
First of all - you need to go to a college (earn your bachelors) in a school that has a pre dental program. There are a lot of schools that have pre dental programs. Some affordable colleges are the CUNY and SUNY colleges. It's a little over $4,000/year. (Which is practically nothing. Apply for scholarships and it will be almost free, you'd just have to pay for books)
Some CUNY's that have pre dental:
- CUNY Queens
- CUNY York
- CUNY Hunter
Some SUNY's that have pre dental:
- SUNY Stonybrook
- SUNY Farmingdale
After you finish your 4 years getting a bachelors degree. You will need to go to dental school. A few good dental schools in NY are:
- School of Dental Medicine at Stony Brook
- NYU: Dental School
- Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery
There is also a really good one in NJ:
- University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
Some advice:
- You don't need to have a major in a science field to get into dental school. You can major in anything you like, business, english, history... whatever you want. The thing is, if you major in a science, for example biology. Dental school is EXTREMELY competitive. If you don't get into dental school, you need to think about what you're going to do with your major. What are you going to do with biology if you don't get into dental school?
- Take chemistry BEFORE biology. For some reason college biology involves so much more chemistry rather than biology.
- Don't get discouraged. The first year of pre dental is going to be the hardest thing you will ever do. Because they design the first year to be difficult to weed out students who don't want to work hard. So be prepared to work your butt off!
- Try to maintain at least a B average in your sciences because remember you're not just competing with the students in your own class or college, you're competing against every student around the world who wants to go to the dental schools that you want to go to.
Good Luck!!

Thanks a lot.
How and where can I do Dentistry in the US after A-Levels?
I'm not sure what is the U.S. equivalent of the UK A-Level education (high school, maybe?).. You might want to find that out first.
Anyway, here in the U.S., if you already have a high-school-level education, you need to attend college (i.e. a bachelor's degree program) and take pre-dental requirement courses during that time, take the DAT examination, accumulate letters of recommendations (majority of which must be from science instructors) then apply to dental school. The process of licensure to practice comes near the end of dental school.
Check out the American Dental Association website (www.ada.org) under their section for students and educators for more career planning info.
Good luck.
Hope this helps.
Reply:Dentistry in the US is taken as a professional post-graduate degree that awards one the title of Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). These degrees are on par with the MD, DVM, or DO.
The normal progression is to take a four-year baccalaureate degree first (in fact, some research-oriented dental students take their DDS studies in conjunction with a PhD). Also, you will need to write the Dental Admissions Test (DAT).
Most universities offering professional medical, dental, or veterinary programs also offer a baccalaureate-level "pre-med" curriculum of math and science that can be taken in conjunction with most other majors. It's not unheard of for pre-med students to major in subjects as far removed from the clinical sciences as music or the humanities. The pre-med curriculum, among other things, helps prepare one for the DAT.
You should be aware that admission to dental school is highly competitive; you will need to achieve high marks in your baccalaureate studies - whatever the major - and on your DAT. Also, participation in some form of dental-related research or community service will strengthen your application.
