JCC My mouth is now their playground.

An example of true bravery at the JCF? I think so.

 

Bravery and thrift can be a powerful combination. Let’s call it…thravery.

 

It's like there's a party in your mouth and everyone's invited!

 

Here is a video of the students at the dental school.



I was expecting this to be about RC Cola and fun dip.

Student Dentists. That’s deal with the devil.

 

I hope it is inside of your mouth that the student becomes the master.

 

Punk, I've done the same thing - got a dental operation from post-grad dentists - and I can safely say:

Pull out now.

Seriously, Pick up that phone and call them. Say you've changed your mind. The horror! There's a reason these people aren't dentists yet.

 

There were four floors, right. I was on the fourth. They stuck a crowbar-sized drill in my tooth - it was so large, my mouth had to remain as wide open as possible - and then they said: "Oh, we forgot to take a photo. Let's do that now. It's on the ground floor".

 

yeah, what Watto said. It's one thing to let the kids extract a few teeth but sounds like you need a very competent dental surgeon for e.g. the bone grafts. I had one of the best local surgeons around for an implant and it still messed up. He had to go in, clear everything out and start from scratch. It took like 2 years to get through it all. The pain was Hellraiser Cenobite level exquisite.

 

My most involved dental procedure to date was a small gum graft last year. Big mistake I made there was not having made sure to have picked up my post-procedure pain med BEFORE going to the appointment. What they gave me during the procedure itself wore off amazingly quickly--as in it already started hurting as hubby was getting me in the car to go home. Then within minutes it got pretty bad and I became a moaning mess as hubby was driving like a maniac to the nearest pharmacy. So that's my tip--get all your pain meds in hand beforehand, and good luck!

 

Jesus. @Darth Punk, listen to the wise people. Cancel!

 

[Marathon Man] Is it safe?

 

Would you rather go to a student dentist or student psychologist?

 

I fully support your use of teaching institutions. I do the same myself. But you might try dental fellows instead. These people already have full dental degrees but are just further refining their skills in a certain subset. It's a very good balance between contributing to the educational process and being taken care of one's self.

 

Glad you were able to go out for your birthday celebration @Darth Punk!

 

I don't know about Psychiatry. Psychology there are definitely students though, my friend did that on the way to her PhD.
