How do you fix broken dentures at home?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The correct way to repair cracks in dentures is to get them repaired by a professional denture repair business.

When browsing through the search engines, you may want to search for the word denture repair. Another tip when hunting for a denture repair service is to understand there is a difference in quality of materials that might be used for your denture. The national average to fix a broken denture is around $175. You may find several businesses that will offer denture repair services, but always be cautious on those who offer a low priced denture repairs as they may not be using quality materials to repair your dentures.

If quality materials are not used, you might be better off to repair dentures yourself as if poor quality materials are used to repair your dentures will eventually end up with a broken denture again.

Lastly, the best kind of place you can find is if there are dentists involved with the repair of your dentures as they can find the right solution for all kinds of denture repairs quickly and that is also cost effective.

How do you brush your teeth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Using a soft-bristle brush (or rotating, or ultrasonic), brush away from the gumline thoroughly, on inside (lingual), outside, and chewing surfaces. The aim is to remove soft accumulations of bacteria and tartar before they harden into plaque (which would harbor enamel-damaging bacteria and irritate gums). Flossing between teeth is highly recommended, and newer disposable holders make it easy to grip and slide.

How much does a dentist earn per year in the USA?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Median annual earnings of salaried dentists were $136,960 in May 2006. Earnings vary according to number of years in practice, location, hours worked, and specialty. Self-employed dentists in private practice tend to earn more than do salaried dentists.

Dentists who are salaried often receive benefits paid by their employer, with health insurance and malpractice insurance being among the most common. However, like other business owners, self-employed dentists must provide their own health insurance, life insurance, retirement plans, and other benefits.

Do you need additional training or schooling afterwards for dentist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dental schools require a minimum of 2 years of college-level pre-dental education prior to admittance. Most dental students have at least a bachelor's degree before entering dental school, although a few applicants are accepted to dental school after 2 or 3 years of college and complete their bachelor's degree while attending dental school. Dental school usually lasts 4 academic years. Studies begin with classroom instruction and laboratory work in science, including anatomy, microbiology, biochemistry, and physiology. Beginning courses in clinical sciences, including laboratory techniques, are also completed. During the last 2 years, students treat patients, usually in dental clinics, under the supervision of licensed dentists. Most dental schools award the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). Others award an equivalent degree, Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). All 50 States and the District of Columbia require dentists to be licensed. To qualify for a license in most States, candidates must graduate from an accredited dental school and pass written and practical examinations.

Yes its all about studying. thanks ^^ ~THE BASIC THINGS COULD BE SUCH AS COMPLETE 4 YEARS OF SCIENCE OR AT LEAST TWO AND GO TO DENTAL SCHOOL. YOU MUST COMPLETE 4 YEARS OF THAT AND THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR AN LICENSCE.

Dental assistant pay rate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the type of experience, type of dental assistant and geographical location. A dental assistant in a higher level position can make $25/hr or more. The assistants are called EFDAs (Expanded Function Dental Assistants). Generally these assistants have special certifications, and most have college background or specialized training. An entry level assistant with limited experience will get about $9 to $12. Again, salaries vary with geographical location and the doctors demands of the assistant. May non-EFDA assistants can get higher salaries if there are other responsibilities such as ordering and managing the clinical end of the office. Most assistants are grossly underpaid and many dentists try to train regular assistants to be EFDA's without paying them an EFDA salary. EFDAS do actual dentistry within the law.
