Has anyone ever went to a school of dentistry to have thier teeth looked at? I hear they are a lot cheaper then regular dentist. My wisdom teeth are coming in and one is coming in next to a broken tooth. So I'm wondering if they wondering if they would be cheaper with my insurance I have Delta Dental PPO and they are not listed as one of the prefered dentist. I'm not worried about paying to get the bad tooth removed it only cost me $24 with my insurance. What I'm looking for is a cheaper place to get my Wisdom Teeth pulled that's even if they need to pull them.

Well I am in dental school and work on patients. It is a lot cheaper than if you were to go to a private practice. The only downfall is if you have a lot of work to be done it takes more time. The work done is good quality though. So I would recommend you going to the school to see what needs to be done. Depending on the position of your wisdom teeth a dental student could do it, but if not it would be sent to an oral surgery resident.

Yes, they are cheaper, the dentists may be slower & rougher, but that's how they learn. on you. i found out that I had 4 cannals in one tooth, & the dentist had to take about 100 pictures because it's rare & he wanted to put it in a medical journal. I didn't get any royalities off it either. just a lot of pain.
