Hi,I have been a dental hygienist 20 years.Dental assistants duties they can perform by law vary state to state.In my state,Louisiana,a EDDA or expanded duty dental assistant can polish teeth,but cannot scale or remove calculus(tartar).Your best bet is to contact your state board of dentistry and find out what an expanded duty dental assistant can do.Most pediatric dental offices mainly employ EDDAS and not hygienists because most pediatric dental patients have little if any tartar and they just need a polish and fluoride treatment.EDDAs can also apply pit and fissure sealants,make temporary crowns,etc..The EDDA course is usuallly just a weekend course and well worth your time to take it if you plan on being an assistant.Since hygienists scale calculus,do deep scaling and root planing and in my state can administer local aneshtesia our pay scale is quite higher than an assistant,but you can work your way up the pay scale in assisting pretty quickly.Let me know if you have more questions.

You can have choose a new dentist and have the records sent.  You probably have to sign a release at the dentist office you don't like.  The receptionist at the new dentist office will know how to do this.

ask in your local dentist as they usually recieve the monthly magazine, they might be able to save it for you. You could contact the BDA website and see what links they have got that could be useful

Can you be a little more specific? Did you mean replacing a tooth without man made materials?

It takes something pretty serious to keep you from passing the screening. I'm seriously anemic and they still approved me to come here. I think a lot of it has to do with where your going. Our hospital here in Naples doesn't even have a Intensive Care Unit, I think it's a forty something bed hospital, so anybody with anything that is too bad, they wouldn't send somewhere like this. My biggest problem for the overseas screening was the dental. I actually had to have a lot of work done on my mouth! But that kind worked out for the best for me....I got braces and the Military is paying for them one hundred percent because I live overseas! I'm seen on base here for both medical and dental.As a dependent ( My husband is the active duty member ) over the age of 19, our dental insurance through the military in the States wouldn't cover anything for braces. And remember that when you go in for your screening, you'll see a military dentist for your dental screening, but if you have anything they want fixed before you go ( Wisdom teeth pulled, cavities filled, etc... ) they'll make you go to a civilian dentist to have it done, so you'll hav to pay whatever the insurance doesn't.

I would not only contact but I would visit the dentist school I planned on attending and ask them what they recommend you to take. That usually heads off problems in the long-run finding out you should have taken this or that class or that you wasted your time and money taking other things. I would NOT rely on the current school for recommendations. They may claim to know what you need to take but I've never seen it. I have seen over and over and over courses recommended that are not needed, which could have been avoided, then the student has to spend that much longer getting the classes he/she needs to get in the desired university.

according to my dentist, who loves to discuss this while doing a prophylaxis on me, their role as dentists is now shifting from cure to prevention. moreover, with the introduction of flourinated water, there is a gradual shift from cure and maintenance to "repair" (such as braces). also, their role in "medicine" and "oral health" is increasingly being recognized espcially now with the emergence of "oral surgeons" in recent years.\n-it is far from a 2000-word essay, but i hope it eased the burden

I had Northwestern's Dental school downtown do all my dental work and it was WAY cheaper than the lowest estimate from a dentist. It was a few years ago and I don't have the number anymore, but I'm sure you could find it online.

I have had lots of work done at a Dental college.  I was happy with the work but, it took longer than a normal dental office and required alot more time and visits.  But remember they are getting graded so they are going to do the best they can and the instructors will check all of their work.  My husband and son both had their braces done at the Dental college and their teeth look great.

Ask the dentist. If they give you anesthesia then maybe.
