Really good cosmetic dentist in queens new york?
Q. I need to get root canal on my front teeth and I dont want to have any discoloration on my gum after the root canal. Can someone refer me to a really good cosmetic dentist in queens NY?
A. No discoloration happens to the gums when root canal is done; it is actually root canaled tooth that is discolored. All that your dentist has to ensure is that the subsequent porcelain crown is color matched with rest of your teeth.

Dentist Statistics:
Nationally, about 152,600 dentists work in this medium-sized occupation. Almost all dentists work in dental offices and clinics.
About nine out of ten dentists are in private practice. They work for themselves or for a dentist who owns the practice. Most dentists work alone or with a small staff. Other dentists have partners. Some work for other dentists as associate dentists.
About 40 percent of dentists are self-employed.
Preparation
To work as a dentist, you must:
complete at least two years of college;
take science courses in college;
graduate from dental school;
pass a state exam to get a license;
have strong interpersonal skills; and
be self-motivated.
Formal Education
Most students need four years to complete dental school. Most dental schools award a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree. Others award a Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree. In dental school, you take courses in anatomy, microbiology, and physiology. In the lab, you learn how to treat patients and do various procedures.
Dental schools require you to have at least two years of college courses before enrolling. Most of the required courses are in the sciences. However, most dental students have a bachelor's degree. It is helpful if you major in pre-dentistry or a life science before entering dental school.
One out of four new graduates of dental school enrolls in a postgraduate training program. These programs prepare you for one of eight dental specialties. This training may last an additional two to four years.
Work Experience
Some dental school graduates get more experience by working with an established dentist. You can work as an associate for several years before starting your own practice.
On-the-job Training
In the last two years of study, you begin treating patients. Students work in dental clinics under the supervision of licensed dentists.
Licensing and Certification
Dentist applicants must:
1) Have graduated from an accredited dental school.
2) Pass the National Board of Dental Examiners examination with an average score of at least 75%.
3) Pass a clinical examination.
