Anyone has experience with root canal done at a dental school?

I went there today and everybody seems so nice and professional .But are they competent , experienced to do a root canal...I went to my dentist before and he sent me to an endodontic spec. for root canal because it's a complicated one(had root canal before and a bridge over,now it has two cavities) So,this young girl who said she just graduated , would she be able to do a good job?%26gt;I am scared!But they have a cost I can afford.

Anyone has experience with root canal done at a dental school?
When I was a dental student, all the root canals I did was under the supervision of an endodontic specialist (instructors in the endodontics department in my school). They do step in if the student encounter difficulties.





You should be treated quite well in a dental school. Go for it, and good luck!
Reply:Go for it, nothing to worry about. the endo will charge too much.
Reply:you should be fine. If it's not a complicated root canal then they should have no trouble doing it and if it is complex, then they probably would refer you to a specialist ( an endodontist).
Reply:I think you should do it at a dental school. The professors are ultimately responsible to supervise the treatment, and they are, at least theoretically, among the most qualified in their field. I have had work done at a dental school, and lament that there are none close to where I live, but they are great sources for low-cost dental work. It takes more time for them to do it, but it is largely textbook, no corners cut treatment, and I have had great success with them, and I have had a lot of complicated work done (root canals, bridges, caps, surgeries).
Reply:Yes, it should be as good as any reg dental office. I've got several things done at a dental school (extractions, fillings, cleaning) including a root canal. The experience was one of my most pleasant. I've had 2 root canals and both wasn't painful, felt like a longer filling, but the one at the dental school, the ppl there made me feel more at ease. Also, there is always someone watching. And they were super nice. I felt relaxed and confident. Also, the work was really good. One of my fillings lasted me over 10 years, even my reg dentist was amazed at how well it held up and didn't need replacing (until I got picky and wanted white ones instead, lol). I was really pleased with the price too. Everything should go smoothly. Good luck! =)
