I'm going to a dental school to get my teeth cleaned/examined. What should I expect?

Anyone ever been to a University dental clinic? How long will it take? Will like thousands of people be looking in my mouth if I get a cavity?

It'll take 2 to 3 hours. The student has a set of steps that he/she must follow and have checked off. Some schools have streamlined this step and others still limp along inefficiently. You will get the best exam you've ever had, though! If there is a cavity, they'll talk with you about it ( student and faculty) and come up with a plan to get things fixed. It's time consuming, but you generally get very good work.
Reply:well in hygiene school i saw patients in our clinic, and it will take a long time because the people cleaning your teeth are not certified yet and all their work has to be checked over by the instructor. Only the student and instructor will see your teeth, and no one else. at least thats how my school worked. it did take 2-3 hours for the whole appt, but it is way cheaper. we only charged 10 bucks and students were free. id do it if i were you.
