Dental Nursing

Advantages: Opportunities can be good
Disadvantages: Poor employers, poor pay if not qualified

...of the treatment side of dentistry such as crowns, bridge work, fillings and the good old extractions too.

For crown and bridge work, I'd need my treatment trays, plus I'd need to have fast and slow hand pieces and the files and burs for the dentist to use. I'd also need to have powder and water ready to mix alginate for taking impressions as well as filling in lab slips ready for the item to go to the lab the next day. Patient care ...
...than the average filling and for nervous patients this can be quite an ordeal and the nurse needs to keep them calm and reassure them and of course liaise with the dentist very closely so there are no mistakes made that may prolong the procedure or scare the patient!

After every patient who had crown or bridge work it would be down into the basement to autoclave all the instruments and put the impressions taken in the fridge overnight.

Review of Dentistry

There's just a little one at the back

Advantages: You can abuse people in freedom
Disadvantages: Sadists

Think of all the things that REALLY put the fear of God into you... Spiders, slugs, snails (yeah, I know, I'm sorry, but try treading on one in your socks, ooh, brings back the shakes, just thinking about it), snakes (why so many 'S'es?), being shut in small places (still a damn 'S'), heights(at last)... Yeah, all of those things - but until the last two or three years, there was something even more fearsome in my mind and that was ... the DENTAL ...
...to scare me. (Shock!! Horror!! dave27 in Bravery Scandal!!) Yes, after nearly forty years of being scared out of my mind at the thought of going into the dentist's waiting room (let alone his surgery) I have finally conquered my phobia. It all stems from some bad experiences as a child with drills and big scrapey things and most of all injections (esp those at the front in your first two teeth, when they stick the needle right up your nose). I had ...

Review of Medicine & Dentistry

Good for dentistry and medical genetics

Advantages: Near Scotland, good dentistry and meidical schools
Disadvantages: Very cold, often difficult to understand the accents

Newcastle university has a really good reputation for dentistry and other medically related subjects such as phyisiology and genetics. It also has a leading research institute for medical genetics. The accomodation is good and many of my friends did actually managed to obtain residence in halls for there full 3 years, though they were a bit institionalised by the end of it. Most halls also offer food with accomodation for those to lazy to cook. Newcastle itself has a really good social scene and there are some very upmarket pubs and clubs around the city as well; however be warned it gets very cold in winter and the locals walk around in miniskirts in the snow! ...

Review of Newcastle University

Best Dental School In Europe!

Advantages: Excellant environment and Teaching facilities.
Disadvantages: Alot is expected from the students!

, and the Institute of Psychiatry. It is now made of 5 different campuses all of which are bases in the heart of London. -- Guys Campus - London Bridge -- This is the campus which most of the dental teaching is based at and so this is the campus I feel I can review. This campus is the main home to the schools of Biomedical Sciences, Dentistry and Medicine. The campus it self is made up of 5 buildings which are positioned around a average sized green space and there is also Guys hospital (which is made up 30 towers!) that can be found just outside this circle of buildings. My first impression of Guy's campus was that it actually doesn't feel very much like a university campus and this may be both positive and negative. From my personal experience of other universities, especially those outsides London, I have found that a campus usually feels ...
