Q. A couple of years ago my dentist pulled out one of my canine teeth. I saved it though and was thinking of having it encapsulated in a clear but durable plastic material and then make a pendant for a necklace. You see, if shark teeth and other light objects can be made into pendants, what more for one's own? But then I don't know where in the valley (Los Angeles) I could go to for such a purpose! My friends really balked at this weird idea of mine, or so they said. Any ideas?
A. I've heard of mothers saving their children's baby teeth and creating necklaces. (with 7 kids I'd have quite a collection!)
Can't imagine wearing one of your own teeth would be weirder than that!
I would think a Dremel drill or other tiny drill bit would make a hole to string it. Or go to a craft shop and find a metal cap (in jewelry making supplies) to glue to the top of the tooth. Then wear it on a chain.--Maybe you could recycle old braces and make one!! ;)

How much should it cost for an inlay and/or filling on my tooth?
Q. I just went to the dentist and in addition to a few cavities that I need filled, the dentist informed me that I will need an inlay.
How much should it cost for an inlay? How much for a filling?
Is it going to be more expensive since I'm in Los Angeles (I heard that dentists out here charge more than in other part of the country)?

A. DUCE,
AN INLAY IS DONE FOR A TOOTH WHEN AN ORDINARY FILLING IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT.
AN INLAY IS MORE EXPENSIVE BECUASE IT'S MADE BY A DENTAL LABORATORY. THERE ARE VARIOUS MATERIAL WHICH CAN BE USED FOR THIS. IT INCLUDES METAL,SUCH AS GOLD, CERAMICS OR SPECIAL TOOTH-COLORED PLASTICS.
THE PRICES VARY AS TO HOW BIG THE INLAY IS AND WHICH MATERIALIS USED.
I HAVE A GOLD INLAY IN ONE OF MY MOLARS. FOR ME IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE.

How do i move to America while a dentist?
Q. I am a dentist im 26 i want to move to los angeles how do i do it in under 2 years, would i be able to do it?
A. Immigration is a long process sometimes taking years. One needs to have a sponsor who will petition them to the US. Expecting to work in the same field as you have in your home country is also a stretch as you will have to pass the states board exams before you can practice.

A. First of all, an orthodontist is NOT a dental assistant. An orthodontist is a SPECIALIST in a particular field of dentistry; one who corrects the bite and straightens the teeth. A dental assistant is one who ASSISTS the actual dentist.
Junior colleges have dental assisting programs, but I do not believe that universities do, as they are for higher education.
USC is one of the top-rated dental schools in the country and you are already living in the neighborhood....not that that will help you get into it. UCLA is also a very good school. You are looking at 4 years of undergrad studies, then another four years to become a dentist. If you choose to go into a specialty, tack on another 2-4 years of schooling.
Last I heard it cost about $33,000.00 a year for USC. but I am not sure what the cost actually is.
It will be difficult to be an assistant and go to school full time, as both require so much of your time.
Good Luck to you though
