Atlanta Dds Members Tend To Have Many Benefits

By Tammie Caldwell


Having tooth ache is not the nicest thing to have as it can make one feel truly under the weather. Going to the dentist is also rather frightening as not all dentists are gentle and do not have much of a bedside manner. At all of the Atlanta DDS each dentist will do their utmost to ensure that one is comfortable and at ease.

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.

The dentist does not work alone but rather with a team that includes the dental assistant, dental hygienist, dental technician and the dental therapist. Many of these doctors are able to work in private practises while others prefer to work in hospitals or even in prisons or the armed forces bases. Their main purpose is to help prevent dental and gum diseases or pyorrhoea. This is done by taking the tooth in question out by means of root canal or scaling and root planning as well as restoring the tooth to normal.

From 700 to 1575 the silver paste was introduced as well as the two groups which were divided into surgeons whom were extensively trained to perform difficult operations as well as those who were taught to perform the more normal everyday services. Later the first book entitled "The little medicinal book for all kinds of diseases and infirmities of the teeth" was written. It covered all the normal procedures such as extractions, drillings as well as the replacement of gold fillings.

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.

In 1789 Nicolas Dubois de Chemant was the first to administer porcelain teeth and John Greenwood constructed the first dental foot engine. He changed his mom's foot treadle spinning wheel to become a drill. The first dentists chair was also made by Josia Flagg and was able to have adjustments made to the headrest as well as extensions to hold all the required instruments.

As time progressed into the nineteenth century the first dental book was published as well as the developed of porcelain teeth. The first reclining chair was invented by James Snell and a hardening rubber was made-up which was the base for false teeth. In 1840 the first dental school was founded by Horace Hayden and Chapin Harris and the first national dental organization was founded.

The twentieth century bought on the first aesthetic named Novocain as well as the invention of lost wax. In 1911 the first US Army Dental corps was established and two years later the Fones Clinic opened its doors. From then on the leaps and bounds of dentistry have evolved to what it is today.
