There are a few good dental information sites that might help you get familiar with the dental terms and the procedures used. If you live on the West Coast, search CaliforniaDentalInsurance.com then look on the left side of the page. They offer some tips that may help.
In addition, I would search the Dental Opinions blog as there is a ton of information on dentistry. Keep me posted on what you find…
