Besides, discussion on MISTAKES TO AVOID will make your reading interesting and enjoyable. The book also contains some inspirational journeys of the India's best Dentists. Now read what the Authors, Dr. Jasmine Singh, BDS, and Dr. Sunil Kumar, BDS share with the young students in their own words...."We never know that when we become a Doctor, we would be dealing with the most precious manifestation of human life - The Smile...""In the journey of Dentistry, a Student tries to find answers to many questions to clear the blurred vision of Dentistry. Some students may find the answer, but most fail to elicit the right information and feedback. Some are lucky enough to find good mentors in their lives to guide them in the right direction. The intention of this book is to give the right direction to the students who plan to embark upon the journey of Dentistry.""Now about BDS, yes, it is the best bet after MBBS because BDS is also a specialized medical profession which has absolutely no alternative and no competition from any other streams. Dentistry is more of surgical work than writing prescriptions. A dentist is always ready with his warfare - air rotor, forceps and elevators for the surgical strike in the most important battlefield in the body - The Mouth""A dentist treats each patient like a skilled artisan with the utmost care, patience, and above all with a professional skill to provide immediate relief from anguish. Taking patients out of distress and bringing a smile is the real treasure of a Dentist. Therefore, the role of a dentist is very crucial, important, and second to none in providing relief to the agony of patients because dental pain is the second most painful condition in the body after child labor. The BDS/Dentistry is as noble as MBBS or any other medical field. This book further reveals why BDS is still the best option after MBBS."Compliments - "It is a good concept and I anticipate many budding and young dentists will find it very useful. All the best." ~ Dr. Ashith Acharya, India's top Forensic Odontologist."Fear of a Dentist is well known. But do you know what a dentist fears the most??? This book is exactly that! From beginning to the very end it revolves around the atrocities of dentistry on a Dental student. A good insight into the most feared questions of a Dental student. All the Best!" ~ Dr. Prakhar Kumar, a practicing dentist with ethical leanings and a fine human being.

Download or read book Teeth written by Mary Otto and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of 2017 "[Teeth is] . . . more than an exploration of a two-tiered system—it is a call for sweeping, radical change." —New York Times Book Review "Show me your teeth," the great naturalist Georges Cuvier is credited with saying, "and I will tell you who you are." In this shattering new work, veteran health journalist Mary Otto looks inside America's mouth, revealing unsettling truths about our unequal society. Teeth takes readers on a disturbing journey into America's silent epidemic of oral disease, exposing the hidden connections between tooth decay and stunted job prospects, low educational achievement, social mobility, and the troubling state of our public health. Otto's subjects include the pioneering dentist who made Shirley Temple and Judy Garland's teeth sparkle on the silver screen and helped create the all-American image of "pearly whites"; Deamonte Driver, the young Maryland boy whose tragic death from an abscessed tooth sparked congressional hearings; and a marketing guru who offers advice to dentists on how to push new and expensive treatments and how to keep Medicaid patients at bay. In one of its most disturbing findings, Teeth reveals that toothaches are not an occasional inconvenience, but rather a chronic reality for millions of people, including disproportionate numbers of the elderly and people of color. Many people, Otto reveals, resort to prayer to counteract the uniquely devastating effects of dental pain. Otto also goes back in time to understand the roots of our predicament in the history of dentistry, showing how it became separated from mainstream medicine, despite a century of growing evidence that oral health and general bodily health are closely related. Muckraking and paradigm-shifting, Teeth exposes for the first time the extent and meaning of our oral health crisis. It joins the small shelf of books that change the way we view society and ourselves—and will spark an urgent conversation about why our teeth matter.

Book Synopsis Careers in Dentistry by : Institute for Career Research
Download or read book Careers in Dentistry written by Institute for Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MOST PEOPLE DO NOT LOOK FORWARD to visiting the dentist. Many avoid it as long as possible. Yet those same people will leave the dentist's office relieved, often with big smiles (assuming the Novocain has worn off). What most people do not realize is that the profession of dentistry has come a long way in recent years. New techniques and technologies such as lasers and air abrasion devices have changed the way dentists treat patients. A visit no longer has to be a source of dread. Dentistry involves more than just teeth alone. A dentist provides healthcare for the oral cavity, including soft tissue and bone, as well as the associated head and neck region. A typical dentist visit starts with an examination of the patient's teeth and mouth tissue. Based on what the dentist finds, a diagnosis is made and a treatment plan is proposed. Treatment may include removing tooth decay, filling cavities, repairing damaged teeth, extracting teeth, and/or replacing lost teeth. Most dentists are generalists who provide a wide array of services. On a given day, a general dentist will see people of all ages and backgrounds - sometimes entire families. There is never a dull moment because dentists never know who will be in the examining room, or what they will need. A patient could just be there for a checkup and cleaning. In that case, the dental hygienist on staff will take care of the cleaning, and the dental assistant will take a set of x-rays. The dentist will look at the x-rays in search of problems that need to be addressed right away or point out possible problems that need to be watched. The next patient could be suffering from a damaged tooth, broken during a fall. The dentist will need to determine if and how the tooth can be saved, and provide immediate treatment. There are also dentists who practice in certain specialized areas of dentistry. There are nine specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). Each requires additional training, but the payoff is a higher than average income for the licensed specialist. The most popular specialties are orthodontics (teeth straightening) and prostho¬dontics (artificial teeth). Dentists are highly educated professionals. It takes four years of undergraduate studies as a pre-dental student, followed by another four years in dental school. In order to get into dental school, the applicant must first take the Dental Acceptance Test (DAT) by their junior year in college. Getting into dental school is competitive so scoring well on the test is important. Many students take practice tests, sometimes as early as high school. Dental school is a rigorous mix of classroom instruction and hands-on clinical work. Upon graduation, dentists need to obtain a license to practice. Specific licensure requirements vary by state. Newly minted dentists can look forward to one of the best careers available today. They are well compensated with a median annual income of $150,000. Even those starting out can expect to earn at least $65,000 in their first year of practice. Those who take the time to become specialists can earn more than $180,000. Dentistry is also a stable career with more opportunities than the available dentists can fill. There is a growing demand for dentists that is not expected to slow down any time soon. Perhaps most important of all is the agreeable work-life balance dentists enjoy. Most dentists work in private practice and can decide for themselves how much they want to work. Dentistry is one of the few professional careers that actually offers the chance to work part time without losing traction. If you have an interest in healthcare, and like to work with your hands as well as your mind, dentistry is worth a look.
