Just go and have your teeth cleaned. At least that's still practice for her.
 Now if she's REALLY HOT .... then ask her to give you a root canal! She will love you for that!

Yeah, let her do it.
Since she's still a student she will probably be more careful/gentle than most. |

I have done it before. Cleaning and checkup isnt a big deal. Repair work should be supervised since she is still a student.

If she's a D4 then she's basically a doctor. There isn't any residency for dental students - after 4 years, they go straight to doing dentistry. I'd go for it.

Go see her, but at the Dental School Clinic. She will be supervised by a Professor with oversight. Don't wait until May when she graduates. I had my wisdom teeth taken out at the Dental School clinic while I was attending law school. A prof supervised the whole procedure. The clinics usually charge a reduced price. Plus I also got a student discount. The downside- make sure she doesn't have HIV. There was a HIV+ dental student at my university.

I my middle sis is a dentist and her husband is also a dentist, as part of their procedure to be certified as a DDS/DDM. By the time they finished dental school they are qualified to work on your teeth, just that they may not have been certificifed to put DDS/DDM on her name. I think this gal is undergoing the procedure to get her DDS/DDM from the state dental board, or whoever regulates dentists in Wisc.

It was quite the issue. Their identity was never revealed as I remember. It was 10 years ago. |

No.
Nor would I ever attempt to deceive them that my dentures were stolen off the sink while I was in the bathroom taking a crap. |

I think the issue is not transmission from "dentist to patient," but from "patient to dentist." In the process of cleaning your teeth, the gums bleed a bit and when they use the water powered "dental pick," the dentist could get splattered with some blood, and they are really close to you. When my sis works on my teeth, she wears a clear full face mask similar to the one used in a metal/wood workshop, and face mask to prevent breathing in anything, and a googles to protect her eyes, and I'm not even remotely sick etc. |

From what I have heard...it usually is a real good thing. They tend to be much more carefull, since they are being evaluated on the work they do....

Why not? I don't think it could be any worse than a regular dentist. But then again I've never had competent medical care in my life. In fact I've never had medical care that wasn't so bad it was life threatening.

Which is good, because a motivated student might track you down and get them back anyway. |

You get enough pain with dentists that have done it for decades... Don't need some n00b hacking and banging your mouth around... |

I had some dental work done at WVU in the 60s. As part of the dentist's "final" he had to do a gold inlay.
Still there, looks great. The student was David Corn. I have no idea why I still remember his name. |

Yes. Do it, if you have the TIME. The students are well-supervised, and will give you work that is technically excellent. The treatment plan will be decided by the instructors (make certain you tell them your expectations, cost wise). The major DOWN side is time. Students need to be checked at various points in the procedure. They also need to make things IDEAL--- PERFECT!!! This means that something a dentist can do in 30 minutes will take 3 hours.
And, not only is that a serious hit on your time, but worse, that is a serious time for any surgical wound (even in dentine) to remain open. Thus, sometimes shooting for PERFECTION (as a student must do) is not PERFECT. Still, you'll get great treatment overall. Working on the wrong tooth is highly unlikely, in that setting. Students are required to get a starting "check" from the instructor (at least at UCSF and UCLA). |

After finding out more it appears you're right. She's already got a fair amount of practice and will be graduating in May. Once she's out she'll be opening up her own shop. |

It's been 16 years since I've been to a dentist ... She'll probably touch them with the scraper and they'll all fall out.

A few years ago my son was seen by a student dentist who was being supervised by the regular dentist. He had one (his first) cavity but he had two fillings because the student screwed up and filled the wrong tooth. |
