True Information Anyone who knows are is in the Dental Field?

Question

If you can help me then thanks much. I need to know what happens in Dental School. I mean this as in what all do you do? When you are practincing on each other does it hurt? Does it feel as if you were at an actual dental visit? Has anyone ever cried? What about people who get a little nervous, do you guys learn how to relax or what? Also and this whole mouth prop thing and rubber dams do you guys use those as well? I need to know for my research paper that's all. Thank you so much for all the info you provide me with. Oh and how did your dental school go for you?

Answer 2

STEPHANIE(sp?),

DENTAL SCHOOL WAS ALLOT OF FUN. FROM THE VERY START YOU BEGIN TO LEARN ABOUT THE SCIENCE CONCERNING THE HUMAN BODY AND A LITTLE LATER YOU ALSO ADD ALL THE MECHANICS FOR DOING THE COMMON TREATMENTS EVERY DAY.
YOU ARE LEARNING THE FIRST FEW YEARS ALL THE BIOLOGICAL COURSEWORK AND THE LAST FEW YEARS THE TECHNICAL WORK.
THE WORK YOU DO IS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DENTAL TEACHERS WHO ARE PRACTICING DENTISTS THEMSELVES. THERE ARE SOME WHO RETIRED HAVING HAD PRACTICED FOR A FEW DECADES. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING DONE BY DENTISTS DAILY IS ALSO DONE BY STUDENTS. SOME OF THE MORE ADVANCED WORK IS NOT DONE BY STUDENTS BECAUSE THIS IS POST-GRADUATE WORK LEARNED BY DENTISTS YEARS FOLLOWING GRADUATION.
DENTAL SCHOOL IS UNLIKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (K-12) MAINLY BECAUSE BY THE TIME YOU STUDY DENTISTRY THIS IS SOMETHING YOU REALLY WANT TO DO , NOT JUST BECAUSE MOM AND DAD SAY SO.
I ONCE ADDED UP ALL THE YEARS FROM 1st GRADE UNTIL I BECAME A DENTIST. THIS WAS A TOTAL OF 23 YEARS. THIS WAS ALSO WITH 5 YEARS OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES.
WAS IT WORTH IT?
ABSOLUTELY!
I FIND TREMENDOUS PRIDE IN THIS PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT.

The Biologic Dentists have to deal with all the toxins the non-biological dentists put in the patients. the patients lose their health, their ability to work, their house.... It is horrible and I have seen it firsthand now for 5 years. .

A SCIENTIFIC RESPONSE to the American Dental Association's Special Report and Statement of Confidence in Dental Amalgam:

The dentist I have referred to has been a dentist 30 years and a biologic dentist over 15 years. One day, he put 15 amalgams in a 12 year old boy. The boy got severe migraines. He couldn't bear to think that it was something he had done. he began to study mercury. Then, he began taking the fillings out and replacing them. The more he removed, the less the headaches. today he is happy and health. It was then he said, "That's it, no more mercury in my office!"

Myself, I nearly died of mercury poisoning. If it were not for my dentist, I would have.

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."
