Q.How do you apply to dental schools?Related Search:
Higher Education (University )
 I am an upcoming sophomore, but I would like to know how to apply to dental schools beforehand. I heard that in order to apply to dental schools, we have to take the DAT (Dental Admissions Test). I would like to know more about applying to dental schools. This can also help other people who are planning to go to dental schools in the near future. Thank you.
A.yes you're right you have to take the DATs. as you probably already know it consists of math, biology, chemistry, physics, and the PAT (the perceptual ability test). depending on what dental school, you'll want to shoot at least 17 or above. a good score would be above 20. get good grades in college. more and more people are applying to dental school, so it's getting more competitive. you'll want at least 3.3 in college. 3.5-3.7 will get you into most schools. outside stuff: it's best to have volunteer work (in a dental setting), research, leadership positions etc etc, but w/o good grades and good DATs, it's hard to even get an interview if you have all sorts of extras. other than that talk to alot of practicing dentists. see if you can shadow one for a month and see if it's something you'd want to do. it's a long road, so make sure it's what you want. a real good website for dentists, physicians, DOs, optometrists, etc is the student doctors network: [Link]  go to the forums for pre-dent and you'll be able to talk to other people like you. i still go to this site once in awhile. plus it's absolutely FREE!!! unlike the answer above. good luck
  

Q.Where can i find cheap dental work in Southern California?Related Search:
Dental
 I'm under the age of 18 and my parents have horrible dental insurance. Their dental insurance covers less than 10%. I need to find a place that has rather cheap dental work, but not at a dental school. (I need a lot of work done). Thanks.
A.I would also recommend Mexico because ive been, although like anywhere else you must do your due dilligence. and get recommendations before you decide.I managed to save around 90% of what it would have cost me. I had 28 top quality porcelain caps/crowns at a cost of $2400 Quite a saving on the $36,000 i was quoted at home. For more info see below. Hope this helps
  

Q.What is the difference between the Dental Assisting I and the Dental Assisting II course?Related Search:
Dental
 I'd like to go to school to become a dental assistant but noticed there are courses for 'Dental Assistant I' and 'Dental Assistant II'. Which is the better one to take?
A.You don't have to take the second level, but if you do, you get to do more things like polishing people's teeth, take impressions (for mouth guards and whitening trays), you get to learn how to place a rubber dam on people, and in some places you get to apply temporarily fillings, apply sealants, and other things. This means that you will have more responsibility in the dental office. Unlike with just taking level 1, you must take an exam at the end of your course with an examination board in order to practice your level 2 skills. The Canadian board is the NDAEB [Link] / Also I forgot to mention that level 2 assistants usually get paid about 2-3 dollars more an hour.
  

Q.What's the difference between Dental Ins and Dental Discount?Related Search:
Dental
 I do not have a job and need work on my teeth. My father is trying to get single dental ins for me but he can't find ins only dental discount plans. When we start out they say insurance plan, then when we call to order they say well this is just a dental discount plan. What's the difference?
A.Insurance allows you to see a dentist who charges, for example, $1000.00 for the crown. You pay $500 and the insurance pays $500. The dentist is paid his full fee. With a discount plan, the "insurance" company pays $0.0 and you pay $500.00. But now the dentist only makes $500.00. Do you think that the dentist that accepts $500.00 as full payment does the same type of quality dentistry as the dentist that accepts $500.00? You can't get something for nothing. Only the government thinks that way.
  

Q.How much does it cost a dental implant at a dental school?Related Search:
Dental
 I know a regular dental implant costs about 3200$ (total cost with crown) but I heard dental schools have cheaper prices.Anyone knows how much is it and are the students reliable?Do they perform under the supervision of an experienced dentist? Is there a dental school in Tampa?
A.You can generally assume when going to a dental school that the price will be about half of a normal dentist. We have two schools in our area, Detroit, at U of Michigan you have to see a student if you want the cheap price but they dont stick you with the rookie students, and they have actual dentists who come and check what they are doing step by step to make sure everything looks good. At the other school over here, U of Detroit Mercy you can see a student or an instructor as you wish both at half price so it depends on where you go. I went to U of M for a root canal and though the appointment takes longer, since they have to have the teacher check it out every so often, but it was worth it to save 300 bucks. I found this on a search... There are 2 dental schools in the state of Florida - Nova Southeastern is in Ft Lauderdale and University of Florida at Gainesville is in Gainesville. Both should be accepting patients for their clinics.
  

Q.How do I get my dental insurance to process/pay my claim?Related Search:
Insurance
 I have dental insurance through WellPoint Dental Services. I needed a dental procedure and my dentist filed it and I received an approval/precertification from WellPoint in the mail. It said the insurance would pay $204 of the procedure. I had the procedure 4/25/2007. I paid my dentist in full (that's how he does it) and have been trying to collect the $204 ever since. I have called the insurance co and am always told it is in process. I have written 2 letters with a copy of the precertification to the address on my card and have had no response. On 7/18/2997, a rep said that it had been misfiled, but it would be sent to claims immediately and that all the necessary info was there. I have received no response to my letters, no check. What should I do now?? That procedure was $1000 and I could really use the $204. Thanks for any help!
A.Write a polite letter of complaint to the Commissioner of Insurance for your state - at your state capital. Copy to your insurance company's Vice President of Health Insurance Claims - or some similar person. The insurance company is required to respond to the commissioner within 30 days. Every day after 30 that they are late, costs them $. You should get a prompt response. But, remember to be polite. You will still have the same insurance company. Most claim adjusters are over worked but real people.
