Can dental assistants fill cavities in Ohio?




I went to the dentist last week ant the dentist drilled the teeth and the dental assistant filled the cavities. In the past it has always been the dentist to do it all. Is it normal now for an assitant to fill the teeth. Well now my teeth hurt and I was wondering if maybe she filled them wrong.
I don’t think it was a student cause the dentist was not in the room while she did it.

Great Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) was created on July 5, 1948. As with all government programs, bureaucrats underestimated initial cost projections. First-year operating costs of NHS were 52 million pounds higher than original estimates1 as Britons saturated the so-called free system.
Many decades of shortages, misery and suffering followed until 1989, when some market-based health care competition was reintroduced to the British citizens2.

Unfortunately for those requiring care, a mostly socialist health care system still has problems. The articles and commentaries in this section identify some disasters caused by government intervention in the British health care system.

I had my surgery 8 days ago. My teeth became really sensitive after the surgery. At first it wasn’t that bad it, but it feels like it’s getting worse. It’s not just one tooth but it seems to be teeth with fillings. It’s sensitive to the liquid pain medicine with codeine, chocolate and toothpaste. How long does this last and should I call my doctor to ask if this is a side effect?

If your teeth get too bad, it can affect your brain. Are there any affordable health insurance that include dental, or do you always have to get dental separate?

Hi,

I’ve been suffering from what is known as ‘brain fog’ for months, maybe years and it’s gradually getting worse.

It could be down to loads of things, but I wondering if my 9 fillings that have the highly poisening mercury in them could be causing it.

I’ve heard green French clay when taken internally is a great detox and removes heavy metals, Inc mercury. So if I detox for 3 weeks with the clay will it remove all the mercury? I know a long term plan would be to remove and replace the fillings.

PS – small amounts of mercury are non leathal, hence the reason why mercury fillings are still legal -but I have 9 fillings!

If you don’t believe me about the mercury, look it up!
