What do you do if one of your brackets comes off the tooth but it is still on the wire?
Brackets are usually attached to the wire by a very short rubber band. Cut the rubber band and save the bracket. So see the Orthodontist to put it back. If you have orthodontic wax, put it on top of any loose brackets about to fall off. This will keep the brackets in place until they can be properly replaced.
Facts about Dental Assistant Programs?
A dental assistant performs numerous tasks in the dentist's office aside from scheduling appointments. Although assistants can learn on the job, a dental assistant program prepares him or her for more extensive tasks. A dental assistant program makes the student a more valuable and viable employee in the dental office. Tasks performed by a dental assistant include scheduling appointments, preparing the patient for the dentist, sterilize and organize dental tools, assist during dental procedures to keep the patient comfortable, explain post-procedure care to the patient and any other task that helps the doctor treat the patient. When a dental assistant program is used to advance knowledge of dental practices, the duties can span into making cast of teeth for dental implants or dentures, cleaning teeth and taking stitches out. A dental assistant program can net the student between $10 and $35 an hour. That can greatly depend on whether a dental assistant program was taken by the employee as well as location and experience in the field. The dental assistant can return to dental school later to become a full-fledged dentist if he or she wants to continue to grow in the dental career field. Dental assistant job projection for the future is high. It is expected to rise by approximately 38% by the year 2018. Dental assistant jobs are on the rise. It pays to get involved in the field early on to ensure your place in the dental field. Taking a dental assistant program helps hasten progress as well as gives the student an upper edge. Going through the dental assistant program does not excuse the dental assistant from a certain amount of on the job training. This could come in the form of an internship or a probationary period to allow the employee to become acclimated to the particular dentist office he or she will be working in. Dental assistants need a good bedside manner in order to work with patients on a daily basis, which is generally inborn rather than learned.

What are the steps to changing dental bands and which tools are used?
Firstly do you mean elastic orthodontic bands, or bands that are used for placing fillings such as siqueland bands? If it's orthodontic bands, then the dentist will firstly remove the old bands, probably by flicking them off with a dental probe. Secondly he will place the new bands by using "mosquito" forcepts which are like very small needle holders that lock together at the handles. I hope this answers the question for you. Hannah
