Atlanta Dds Members Tend To Have Many Benefits

By Tammie Caldwell


Dentistry has been traced back to as early as 5000 BC where it was stated that tooth worms where the cause of dental decay. Then in 2600 BC the death of Hesy-Re was described as the greatest who dealt with teeth. This is the earliest known reference of a dentist. In today's age the Atlanta DDS has improved tenfold compared to the tools that were used all those years ago.

Dentistry is the study of the prevention, treatment, diagnosis as well as sorting out any disorders or conditions of the oral cavity of the mouth. They mainly deal with teeth but will also know the structures and tissues dealing with the face and jaw area. The new term that is being used is the medical speciality of stomatology.

The dentist does not work alone but rather with a team that includes the dental assistant, dental hygienist, dental technician and the dental therapist. Many of these doctors are able to work in private practises while others prefer to work in hospitals or even in prisons or the armed forces bases. Their main purpose is to help prevent dental and gum diseases or pyorrhoea. This is done by taking the tooth in question out by means of root canal or scaling and root planning as well as restoring the tooth to normal.

There are six different colleges in the Atlanta area that offer dental assisting programs as well as dental hygiene. These are all within thirty two kilometers from the city center. For those students that want to become licensed will unfortunately need to look at other places as these programs are not available within the fifty mile radius. Each college will have different enrollment dates as well as fees so always check for this information before hand.

The Atlanta Technical College or ATC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges and can award their graduates with diplomas, degrees as well as technical certificates of credit. The first class was held in January of nineteen sixty eight with only a few students enrolled. Today there are more than five thousand students.

They can be found at 1201 Peachtree Street in Suite 1515 and they are open Mondays through to Fridays from eight in the morning. The closing times do vary depending on the day and Tuesday is their late start days so don't pitch up early for the appointment and have to wait around. One is encouraged to either call or email them if there are any questions that need to be answered.

They have nine different graduate programs and also have an on campus housing facility. All in all there are four hundred and fifty one beds and the students are also able to enjoy a gigabyte Internet service in their residence hall. Many of their students are adult learners while only one third is below the age of twenty two.

Another excellent college is the Georgia Perimeter College and was established in nineteen sixty four. It has over twenty one thousand students and its mascot is the Jaguar. It was formerly known as the Dekalb College and in two thousand and eleven was approved to add two new programs namely the Bachelor of Arts in Sigh Language Interpreting as well as a Bachelor of Science in Health Informatics.
