A member asked:
Can you get dental work done at a school for dental assistants and technicians?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No : Vocational schools for dental assisting and dental technicians do not provide the full range of dental procedures that may be required. However, you can go to a dental school and be treated.

No: If it is only assistants and technicians, no, unless they have a dentist present to do the work or diagnosis. The assistant, if certified in that state can only assist the doc, place a filling under docs supervision, or polish the teeth. They are not legally allowed to clean your teeth where most of the plaque and tartar is present.
