Makes Sure You Choose An Expert That Is Backed By The Atlanta Dds

By Tammie Caldwell


Dentistry has been traced back to as early as 5000 BC where it was stated that tooth worms where the cause of dental decay. Then in 2600 BC the death of Hesy-Re was described as the greatest who dealt with teeth. This is the earliest known reference of a dentist. In today's age the Atlanta DDS has improved tenfold compared to the tools that were used all those years ago.

From 1750 BC an Egyptian text was found that referred to the diseases of teeth and a few remedies that helped to alleviate the pain it caused. Then from 500 to 300 BC both Aristotle and Hippocrates wrote about the treatment of tooth decay as well as gum diseases and how the affected teeth where pulled with forceps. There was also mention of how wires were used in keeping loose teeth as well as broken jaw bones together.

While still in high school it is advisable to take science as well as maths and enrolling in a college prep class could be an advantage. The subjects for college should include algebra, biology, chemistry and liberal arts. Once in college it is not that important to major in science but it is very important that the pre dental science requirements be completed. Some other courses once in college should be on biochemistry, physics, biology as well as organic and inorganic chemistry.

There are six different colleges in the Atlanta area that offer dental assisting programs as well as dental hygiene. These are all within thirty two kilometers from the city center. For those students that want to become licensed will unfortunately need to look at other places as these programs are not available within the fifty mile radius. Each college will have different enrollment dates as well as fees so always check for this information before hand.

The Atlanta Technical College or ATC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges and can award their graduates with diplomas, degrees as well as technical certificates of credit. The first class was held in January of nineteen sixty eight with only a few students enrolled. Today there are more than five thousand students.

They can be found at 1201 Peachtree Street in Suite 1515 and they are open Mondays through to Fridays from eight in the morning. The closing times do vary depending on the day and Tuesday is their late start days so don't pitch up early for the appointment and have to wait around. One is encouraged to either call or email them if there are any questions that need to be answered.

They have nine different graduate programs and also have an on campus housing facility. All in all there are four hundred and fifty one beds and the students are also able to enjoy a gigabyte Internet service in their residence hall. Many of their students are adult learners while only one third is below the age of twenty two.

Another excellent college is the Georgia Perimeter College and was established in nineteen sixty four. It has over twenty one thousand students and its mascot is the Jaguar. It was formerly known as the Dekalb College and in two thousand and eleven was approved to add two new programs namely the Bachelor of Arts in Sigh Language Interpreting as well as a Bachelor of Science in Health Informatics.
