Dental/dental hygiene trainees discuss dental training/education (2023)
So, here at the dental school we have two patients a day. So our morning patient and our afternoon patient. And we have limited numbers of chairs that we can seat, and depending on staffing, that can even be reduced even more. And I’m a third year, so we don’t get priority like fourth years do, for a lot of those spots. So, if they’re just… Someone books appointments for a patient out two, three weeks, then you look at those two, three weeks out, and there’s no chairs available. And then either sometimes we have different rotation, that’s not just a normal patient rotation, and then that gets filled in then, as well.
