Dental school questions

[honeybee91]

I contacted a dental school in my state to see if I can get an exam and cleaning. I’ve never been to a dental school, can I be assured the students will do a good job? And can I schedule an appointment a few months ahead of time?

I’m also anxious I’ll be judged, as students they probably haven’t had intense cases yet. I have gingivitis and I fear it’s advanced to where I need a deep cleaning. Can a dental student do deep cleanings? Will I be judged?

Hey there,

from reading around here, a dental school is a good way to get treatment. The students need to check with their supervisor after every step so they can't really do much "wrong". When it comes to judgment, I don't think so - the students will most likely be very nervous themselves, probably being afraid that either you or their supervisor will judge them Also, cleaning super healthy teeth is probably boring so they will sure be happy to see anything "more advanced".
