How does dental insurance work if you buy it yourself, not thru an employer?
Posted by Admin on February 27th, 2010
I can’t get dental insurance and I was wondering how much it cost’s to pay for it yourself. I need some work done to my teeth and I would figure that it will be expensive. If I just buy it and then go and get like 3000 dollars in work done will it cover the cost’s?

Posted by Admin on February 26th, 2010
My first time in college I earned a math degree with a 3.2 overall gpa. It has now been a few years after graduation, and I am considering going back to school to do pre-dental courses. How much weight will dental admissions boards put on my first degree when I apply? Could I lessen its influence if I take my pre-dental courses at a school other than my alma mater?
Will alternative medicine advocates every stop killing people?
Posted by Admin on February 26th, 2010
People die each year from beliefs related to non-Western medicine. This involves ridiculous and dogmatic beliefs like homeopathy, vaccine -denial, herbal/natural medicine, ancient chinese medicine, and many others. Will this ever stop? Or will alternative theories to actual science always undermine our advancement as a species?
How do dental professionals avoid carpal tunnel, muscluloskeletal strain, and other health issues?
Posted by Admin on February 25th, 2010
I have not yet entered the dental field, but it is something I am very interested in. During one of the information sessions I attended, our speaker mentioned one male hygienist that started every day of class with 1000mg of ibuprofen to combat the pain in his hands. We were also briefed that back, neck, shoulder and wrist problems were a very real possibility. How prevalent are these issues, and is there any way to avoid it? If you cannot avoid it, is it possible to continue your work healthily?

Posted by Admin on February 25th, 2010
Just curious if there is any firm proof that alternative medicine practices actually work. I need *hard evidence*, preferably documented studies by a reputable organization. Anecdotal evidence and user opinion such as “I felt better” or “the Chinese have practiced for thousands of years” does not qualify as proof.
Can a dental hygienist tell a dentist to put on clean gloves?
Posted by Admin on February 24th, 2010
If a dental hygienist notices that a dentist forgot to put on a fresh pair of gloves between patients, would it be okay for her to say something to the dentist (in front of the patient)? What would be the best way to solve this problem? The dentist has done this on occasion before.
Have you looked to alternative medicine for asthma and depression before?
Posted by Admin on February 24th, 2010
I’ve been on numerous drugs for my asthma since I was 5 and nothing seems to work. I’m also very depressed. I want it to all go away so I can be happy. Have you had luck with alternative medicine for these or other illnesses?
