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.

Dentistry is the study of the prevention, treatment, diagnosis as well as sorting out any disorders or conditions of the oral cavity of the mouth. They mainly deal with teeth but will also know the structures and tissues dealing with the face and jaw area. The new term that is being used is the medical speciality of stomatology.

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.

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.

Later Pierre Fauchard who was a French surgeon published another book and was named the father of modern dentistry as it described the oral structure and functions as well as therapeutic and operation techniques and construction. In 1746 Clause Mouton discovered that the gold crown can be changed to enamel which made the appearance of fillings much more appealing. Fifteen years later the first medically trained dentist arrived in America from England and set up his practise.

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.

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.

They can offer different options when it comes to payment so that each person can afford proper dental care. They accept checks, cash as well as CareCredit and Visa cards. If one has to pay off the account monthly just speak to them for it to be arranged.
