What is the definition of a dentist?
Dentistry is the work that a dentist does. A dentist job is to look after the oral health of their clients. This may also include getting ride of any barries that may be in the way of the client including physical barries, if they can not walk a ramp may be needed. If they are scared their nerves will need to be calm. The dentist will need to also have many skills and qualities including communication skills and management skills as they may run a practice. Dentistry is "the profession or science dealing with the prevention and treatment of diseases and malformations of the teeth, gums, and oral cavity, and the removal, correction, and replacement of decayed, damaged, or lost parts, including such operations as the filling and crowning of teeth, the straightening of teeth, and the construction of artificial dentures." www.dictionary.com
How many hours does an average farmer work in one day?
depends on what type of farming, where you farm, and what time of year it is. It probably averages out between ten and seventeen hours
Well, it really depends...
yousa hoe.
The best thing would be to have a filling put in the tooth. But if the tooth is going to fall out soon, the dentist may recommend pulling it instead. Have it looked at by a dentist and then do what you think is best.
Whatever you do don't pull it out yourself. See a dentist its not that bad, honestly..lol
Fill the ToothPulling a baby tooth too early can cause other teeth to move forward and cause misaligned teeth.It depends on the age of the child and which tooth it is. If the tooth is about to fall out, then pulling the tooth isn't a bad option. Some "baby teeth" stick around until age 11 or 12 or even 13 sometimes, so if it is a young child, pulling the wrong baby tooth could cause severe misalignment. You really need a dentist's opinion on this matter.
If this is an adult patient with a retained baby tooth, and the adult tooth never came in, well they should probably keep the tooth because there is no "replacement" on the way.
Not necessarily.
Teeth tend to become more crowed as we age, especially the lower front teeth. This happens in some people regardless of whether they have wisdom teeth or not.
Therefore, removing the wisdom teeth, solely for the purpose of hoping to get naturally straighter teeth, won't work.
actually it is due to treating swelling in mouth by antibiotics only.such conditions occur due to dental abscess where antibiotics given without incision and drainage or root canal treatment.
What do you do with a wobbly back tooth Its really annoying you and it quite sore?
One of the biggest pieces of missing information here is if it is a "baby tooth" or an "adult tooth."
If it is a baby tooth, give it a day or two. It will probably come out on its own. If it doesn't, and it continues to be sore, you may need to take the child to the dentist to make sure there are no complications.
If it is an adult tooth, you need to go to the dentist for sure. The roots are either deteriorated or broken. There is likely an infection going on. It will need to be repaired or removed. Antibiotics will be needed for sure.
How many years do you have to study for dentistry?
A bachelors degree, prerequisites (BIO, CHEM, PHYS, College Writing or English class), DAT, four years dental school. Time might be shortened by incorporating prerequisites into Bachelors degree. One might also consider majoring in a science although that is not necessarily required but might help get those prerequisites in.

Do dentist need to cut gum when they put braces?
I am 15 years old and I wear braces so I know what I am talking about, even though my teeth didn't have this problem. To put it simply overgrown gums interfere with orthodontic treatment. This requires them to be removed or cut away from the gum line. I hope I have helped you on this matter.
Can you kiss with someone after getting wisdom teeth pulled?
For the first 24-48 hours, kissing will not be high on your list of things to do! But, after the anesthesia wears off, the swelling goes down and your jaws don't hurt, just pucker up and kiss away.
How many years of college are required to become a veterinarian?

Veterinarians must obtain a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and a State license. There is keen competition for admission to veterinary school.
Education and training. Prospective veterinarians must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from a 4-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine. There are 28 colleges in 26 States that meet accreditation standards set by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
The prerequisites for admission to veterinary programs vary. Many programs do not require a bachelor's degree for entrance, but all require a significant number of credit hours-ranging from 45 to 90 semester hours-at the undergraduate level. However, most of the students admitted have completed an undergraduate program and earned a bachelor's degree. Applicants without a degree face a difficult task gaining admittance.
Preveterinary courses should emphasize the sciences. Veterinary medical colleges typically require applicants to have taken classes in organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, biochemistry, general biology, animal biology, animal nutrition, genetics, vertebrate embryology, cellular biology, microbiology, zoology, and systemic physiology. Some programs require calculus; some require only statistics, college algebra and trigonometry, or pre-calculus. Most veterinary medical colleges also require some courses in English or literature, other humanities, and the social sciences. Increasingly, courses in general business management and career development have become a standard part of the curriculum to teach new graduates how to effectively run a practice.
In addition to satisfying preveterinary course requirements, applicants must submit test scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Veterinary College Admission Test (VCAT), or the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), depending on the preference of the college to which they are applying. Currently, 22 schools require the GRE, 4 require the VCAT, and 2 accept the MCAT.
There is keen competition for admission to veterinary school. The number of accredited veterinary colleges has remained largely the same since 1983, but the number of applicants has risen significantly. Only about 1 in 3 applicants was accepted in 2005.
New graduates with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree may begin to practice veterinary medicine once they receive their license, but many new graduates choose to enter a 1-year internship. Interns receive a small salary but often find that their internship experience leads to better paying opportunities later, relative to those of other veterinarians. Veterinarians who then seek board certification also must complete a 3- to 4-year residency program that provides intensive training in one of the 20 AVMA-recognized veterinary specialties including internal medicine, oncology, pathology, dentistry, nutrition, radiology, surgery, dermatology, anesthesiology, neurology, cardiology, ophthalmology, preventive medicine, and exotic small-animal medicine.
Licensure. All States and the District of Columbia require that veterinarians be licensed before they can practice. The only exemptions are for veterinarians working for some Federal agencies and some State governments. Licensing is controlled by the States and is not strictly uniform, although all States require the successful completion of the D.V.M. degree-or equivalent education-and a passing grade on a national board examination, the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam. This 8-hour examination consists of 360 multiple-choice questions covering all aspects of veterinary medicine as well as visual materials designed to test diagnostic skills.
The Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates grants certification to individuals trained outside the United States who demonstrate that they meet specified requirements for English language and clinical proficiency. This certification fulfills the educational requirement for licensure in all States.
Most States also require candidates to pass a State jurisprudence examination covering State laws and regulations. Some States do additional testing on clinical competency as well. There are few reciprocal agreements between States, veterinarians who wish to practice in a different State usually must first pass that State's examinations.
Other qualifications. When deciding whom to admit, some veterinary medical colleges place heavy consideration on a candidate's veterinary and animal experience. Formal experience, such as work with veterinarians or scientists in clinics, agribusiness, research, or some area of health science, is particularly advantageous. Less formal experience, such as working with animals on a farm or ranch or at a stable or animal shelter, also can be helpful. Students must demonstrate ambition and an eagerness to work with animals.
Prospective veterinarians must have good manual dexterity. They should have an affinity for animals and the ability to get along with their owners, especially pet owners, who usually have strong bonds with their pets. Veterinarians who intend to go into private practice should possess excellent communication and business skills, because they will need to manage their practice and employees successfully and to promote, market, and sell their services.
Advancement. Most veterinarians begin as employees in established group practices. Despite the substantial financial investment in equipment, office space, and staff, many veterinarians with experience eventually set up their own practice or purchase an established one.
Newly trained veterinarians can become U.S. Government meat and poultry inspectors, disease-control workers, animal welfare and safety workers, epidemiologists, research assistants, or commissioned officers in the U.S. Public Health Service or various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. A State license may be required.
Nearly all States have continuing education requirements for licensed veterinarians. Requirements differ by State and may involve attending a class or otherwise demonstrating knowledge of recent medical and veterinary advances.

Is it usual to get a black eye from having teeth pulled?
While it is not "usual," getting a black eye (hematoma) can occasionally occur during routine dental procedures, including tooth extraction. It most commonly happens when a small artery is nicked during injection of local anesthetic. While this kind of complication is relatively rare, there is little that can be done to avoid it, and it does not mean the dentist was careless or negligent.
If the black eye does not appear until after you have left the dentist's office, you should notify him/her as soon as it is noticed. Tell your dentist if you are taking any aspirin or aspirin substitutes or if you are on blood thinners like coumadin or Plavix. Follow your dentist's instructions. It does look quite dramatic, but it is relatively harmless and will resolve in a matter of a week or two.

How much does an assisting dentist get paid?
This is kind of like asking "How much does a waitress make?" It is largely dependent on: the restaraunt, the personality, the skills and the geographic location. Similarly with dental assisting, it depends on the dentist, the office, the city/state, and the personality and skills of the dental assistant. My mom was a dental assistant (DA) for 23 years and when she retired last year she made $17.50 an hour with a great benefits package. This is a great wage in that town. She had a co-worker who had been an assistant for 13 years who only made $10 an hour. At my current office we have 1 DA who is AWESOME and has been an assistant for over 15 years and she makes $23 an hour and has a great benefits package and profit sharing. We have another DA who is really good and only has 9 months experience and makes $14 an hour with good benefits. We have another DA who just graduated from DA school and still has a lot to learn and she makes $10 an hour with no benefits. I'd say the average wage, if you are a pleasant assistant with good skills and a few years experience you can hope to earn $15-18 on the west coast and then your wage goes up the longer you've been with the same dentist. In most states, anyone can technically be a dental assistant, there is no formal degree or certification required. Many states require special training and license to take x-rays. To perform expanded functions (i.e. to earn more money) you will need to get some formal training and pass a national standardized test. But to be an entry level assistant the dentist could train you on the job. That is how my mom was trained, and the current dental assistant I work with who is awesome was trained on the job as well, and then she went on over the years to attain all her certifications. There are dental assisting schools that range in length from 9 months to 2 years. Be wary of any dental assisting school that costs more than $15,000 to attend because for a little more money (and time) you could become a dental hygienist and earn 2 times as much money.
How long should you have a gauze after getting wisdom teeth removed?
It's better if you do. It will stop the bleeding sooner and help prevent a dry socket. A dry socket is VERY painful. Just use a small piece and fold it into a small square, put the square directly over the spot where the tooth was removed and bite down. Don't bite down to where you are making your muscles sore, but enough to hold the gauze in place. This should help with the "barf" part. It may also help to wet the guaze a bit before putting it in your mouth. Not a lot, just a little bit. And try to leave each piece in as long as you can. You want each piece of guaze to soak up as much blood as you can stand. You don't want to be able to wring it out when you remove it, but it should be "full." If you still can't stand it in your mouth, call your dentist. Another hint is to use tea bags instead of guaze. This may help because it will have some flavor.
When will my canine teeth grow in?

How long until your mouth wont be numb anymore after getting wisdom teeth pulled?
Depends...
If numbness caused of anaesthetic, then will go away from between 3-12 hours depending on type of agent used. If numbness or paraesthesia caused by damage to inferior alveolar nerve or lingual nerve, numb or altered sensation may be permanent.

Can you dip after wisdom teeth surgery?
Yes, but try to dip to the opposite side of the tooth extraction, and use pouches or wrap the dip in gauze if possible. After dipping, drink nothing but milk for the next 30 minutes to an hour.
Nicotine has a very acidulous pH concentration, so you need to neutralize that with the milk. ChaCha!
