Uranium is a naturally occurring weakly radioactive element. High levels of uranium in water may increase the risk of cancer and kidney damage. Most of the uranium that is ingested by food or drink by the human body is excreted, but some amounts are absorbed into the bloodstream and kidneys.
Education and Training for Oral Surgeons. To be certified as a diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (commonly called an OMFS or oral surgeon) must graduate from an accredited dental school and be licensed in the state in which he/she is practicing.
Education Requirements. Much education is required of oral surgeon assistants. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), many states allow for dental assistants to be hired with a high school diploma and no training.However, these individuals do not have much room for growth without education.he BLS recommends that those interested in the one-year formal education should seek programs that have been certified by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Nearly all oral surgeons who hire assistants prefer to provide specific on-the-job training, and new assistants should expect this.
