Q. Besides money, I don't understand what interests people in becoming dentists (DDS/DMD) or podiatrists (DPM). These seem like strange fields to truly be passionate about. Can anybody explain?
A. I've wondered that myself. As an MD student, I really do find the various diseases of the body interesting (as do most people if the ratings of House are any indication). That said, I can't see myself getting psyched to learn about cavities and gingivitis. I assume they are mostly after the money, after all, your average dentist these days makes more than your average doctor. Even so, I would never trade my med school education for a dental school one.
How bad does it hurt getting back teeth pulled?
Q. I have a bad back tooth and im thinking it needs to be pulled. I am scared to death of the dentist. Im not afraid of needles...just the pain in my mouth, im so scared! Please be honest. Thanks guys.
A. I've had 2 molar extractions in the past 3 months, one last week.
They do not 'pull' the tooth. First they numb your gums with lots of gel. Then they give you a small needle in your gum area, but you really don't feel it and it helped me to keep my eyes shut. If you see the needle you'll just worry more, if you keep your eyes shut, you might not even know he's giving you one. Once your mouth is numb he'll start slowing wiggling the tooth. Dentist's wont 'yank' your tooth out, it's slowly wiggled until the tooth is loose enough to pull without hurting you. You don't feel pain really, you'll just feel a lot of pressure, but that isn't painful.
If you're uncomfortable with dentists visit this website and search for dentists with great ratings and reviews.

How can I get dental reviews on dentist in my area?
Q. I don't want dr. oogle, because they only give you the 5 star ratings and the 1 stars you have to pay for it. I had a horrible experience with my dentist in rockford michigan and I need to get reviews before I see another one.
