primarily from Southern
California
will be on campus to furnish information about their programs, including
academic fields available, application and admission procedures and financial
aid information.
Students thinking about
pursuing advanced degrees will be able to save a tremendous amount of time and
effort by having access to all these programs in one place at the same time. (csusb.edu)
About our Dental Club
The purpose of the Pre-Dental Club at California State University, San Bernardino is to provide an environment where undergraduate students can interact with graduate students, faculty members, and experts in the field of dentistry on a professional and social basis for further enhancement in the dental avocation. Our organization seeks to accomplish this goal by: being a support group; providing a network system of unlimited resources, hosting guest speakers that will supply information pertinent to the field of dentistry; organization and participation of communal events and outreach projects and holding workshops to assist pre-dental students with the application process and the DAT. While doing so, the Pre-Dental Club at California State University, San Bernardino will abide by all applicable California State University, San Bernardino policies, and follow local, state, and federal laws.
Preparing for the DAT
Here are some links that will better prepare you for the DAT.
I hope too see all of you at our meeting tomorrow May 23rd.
Dr. Novy is very excited to come and talk to us. Remember not to eat because we are going to have lots of food from Olive Garden.
I also wanted to let you guys know that we will be having a meeting next Friday the 30th as well. Dr. Kasischke, the Associate Dean of Admissions at
LomaLindaUniversity, will be talking about
LomaLindaUniversity’s
School of
Dentistry and how to get savvy with the admissions process!!
Again, I hope to see you all there (SU rooms 207/208) at
4pm, and don’t be shy to bring your friends.
Sincerely,
Amanda Douglas

ScienceDaily (Apr. 24, 2008) — Antibodies present in people with good oral health could become the first tool for dental professionals to assess a patient's probable response to periodontal disease treatments, say researchers at the University of Michigan.
For Missourians covered by Mo HealthNet or Medicaid, not having a dentist can be scary.The House is looking at one way to entice more dentists to become Medicaid providers.
If you've ever sat in the dentist's chair and wondered where all the latex gloves, chemicals, and x-ray films end up, or stopped to consider how much water and electricity the office uses, you aren't alone.
Maybe this explains why only four out of five dentists recommend sugarless gum to patients who chew gum: Turns out the first ingredient in most sugarless gums is a laxative: sweet-tasting sorbitol.
For their part, dentists as a group tend to focus more on building up their practices than sharing the burden of serving public health. Like so many of health care's ills, that leaves hospital emergency rooms carrying the load. Yet the ER offers no cure. "Basically, all I can do is prescribe pain medications and antibiotics, if necessary, and try to provide some phone numbers to try to call," Harrison's Morris said, adding glumly, "The vast majority of the time, the patients already have tried all the same numbers."
We only got a few useful items from our scavenging at CDA: hand sanitizer, lozenge breath freshener/hydrator, and a plaque scraper. It was still a good eye-opening experience to know what is out there.People didn't seem to really want to talk to us because Sarah and I didn't look like practicing dentists/students, and when they found out they said, "Oh, well remember us when you are!" However, Oualid was getting bombarded everywhere we
walked. "Hey, try out this chair!" or "Get your retirement plan here!" they would say. By the unfortunate, early time we had to leave, we amassed a bag full of advertisements, pens/pencils, gum/candy, gloves, mixing bowls, and other disposable, one-use dental instruments that I'll probably just hand over to the dentist I shadow.
We definitely want to visit again next time (next year?), take the whole day, and maybe sit in a lecture.
Then we could all eat at Sonic on Lemon St. to end the conention in even greater sprits!
Check out the pictures -who are those crazy pre-dent students?!
