scary dental stories

I heard about a guy who was a non - traditional student. He had worked in a completely different field for years before deciding to pursue dentistry. He had to go back to school and take all the pre - requisite courses. He was really nervous at first. But he used his life experience to his advantage in the application process. He talked about how his work in his previous job had given him skills like attention to detail and dealing with stress, which would be useful in dentistry. And he got in!

One dental success story is about a patient who had severely crooked teeth. After getting braces, their teeth gradually straightened over a period of two years. Now they have a beautiful, confident smile. Another case is a person with a decayed tooth. Through a root canal treatment and a crown placement, the tooth was saved and functions perfectly.

One of my dental horror stories was when I went to get a wisdom tooth pulled. The dentist didn't numb me properly. I could feel every tug and pull as he tried to yank that tooth out. It was excruciating pain that I will never forget.

A great story is about a group of animal friends. The rabbit had very clean teeth because it always ate carrots and brushed. The bear, on the other hand, ate too much honey and never brushed. Soon, the bear had a toothache. The rabbit taught the bear how to brush and the importance of a balanced diet. This simple story can teach children about both diet and brushing for good dental health.

There is a story of a girl, Lily. She learned about dental hygiene in school. Her teacher told a story about how the germs in our mouth are like little monsters that try to eat our teeth. So, Lily started using floss every day as well as brushing her teeth twice. This made her teeth shiny and healthy. And she was proud to show her bright smile to everyone.

Patients should always check if the dental clinic follows proper sterilization procedures for the instruments. This can prevent infections from dirty or unhygienic instruments.

One big challenge is the high academic requirements. A good GPA in science courses like biology and chemistry is expected. For example, many top dental schools require a GPA of at least 3.5. Another challenge is the Dental Admission Test (DAT). It's a tough exam that tests knowledge in various areas. Students often have to study for months to do well on it.

One horror story is when the dentist accidentally drilled into the wrong tooth. I was in so much pain and shock. It took a long time to fix the mistake and deal with the extra damage.

One horror story is about a patient who had an implant that got severely infected. The pain was unbearable and it led to swelling that affected the whole side of the face. It took multiple rounds of strong antibiotics to get it under control, and in the end, the implant had to be removed.

A young athlete who had his teeth severely damaged during a sports event. He was worried about his appearance and how it would affect his career. But after cosmetic dentistry procedures like veneers, his smile was restored. He went on to compete with new - found confidence. This story shows how dental procedures can not only fix physical problems but also have a positive impact on a person's mental state and career.
