When we do an IV sedation, we have a dental anesthesiologist that comes in. So he takes care of everything with the anesthesia part. I take care of everything with the dentistry," said Dr. Joanne Oppenheim, a pediatric dentist.

Parents should make sure the office is equipped to handle an emergency, should one happen. Ask to see the dentists license and his or her permit to perform sedation.

On Paul and veterinary dentist Lisa Mileslla and new team member Caroline Ingamells were planning to spend a week helping to put a crown on a bears tooth which has been damaged. The visit will also be a chance to review the work they have done over the past year as part of a project for International Animal Rescue, working in partnership with Indian wildlife charity SOS.

A root-canal specialist, Paul has been helping give much-needed surgery to the sloth bears, who were used by the nomadic kalandar tribe to make money on the streets.

The University of Pittsburgh Dental School goes once a year to Jamaica in the spring, and another group goes in the fall. Besides the clinics, the only dentists are an hour away in Kingston, but there is no transportation or money for most Mavis Bank residents to make the trip.

Going to the dentist is not something most people look forward to, but the task would be even more dreaded with long lines and a shortage of modern dental equipment.

It is not merely a matter of semantics. Many people may argue that since dental hygienists are so closely associated with dentists, people will associate any activity done in the dental office as being done by the dentist. However, it is becoming more common for dental hygienists to work without dentists. The former wording disenfranchises dental hygienists from the opportunity to offer those services. Consumers who would otherwise see a dental hygienist might pass up the opportunity because they would not recognize the availability of the service. Also, consumers visiting a dental hygienist regularly, whether in a sole proprietorship or a dentist and rsquo;s office, might not trust that provider due to lack of recognition by the company.

PLAYING IT SAFER: Parents think theyve bought every piece of equipment needed for their kids sports this fall, but one item commonly overlooked is the mouthguard. According to the Ontario Dental Association, this oral device can protect your childs head, jaw and teeth, even for seemingly non-contact sports. In any sport, whether its knock em-sock em hockey or recreational cycling, a little preparation can prevent costly and sometimes painful accidents. While dentists recommend custom-made mouthguards, there are ready-made rubber or polyvinyl ones available, as well as "boil and bite" versions you bite into after placing in warm water. Players who participate in basketball, baseball, soccer, wrestling, squash, racquetball, lacrosse, rugby, in-line skating, martial arts, and skateboarding should wear them, says pediatric dentist

A child is hospitalized after a trip to a dentist. The parents of five-year-old Diamond Brownridge say she is on life support after a routine dental procedure. The girls appointment was for caps and fillings.

Dr. Richard Deforno of Thorndale Dental Associates said the number of dentists graduating from dental school each year has dropped from 6,000 10 years ago to just 4,200, while 4,500 are leaving the field each year as they retire. Because of that, the remaining dentists will need more assistants, he said.

The program also offers experience in several other dental offices, including orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics and oral surgery, as well as general dentistry. There will also be training in interview skills, resume preparation and job placement assistance.
