You will observe simple extractions performed by dental students. There is also a resident clinic that is available once you have completed a rotation in the student clinic. Dr. John Kincheloe is the contact in the clinic. Scrubs are permitted and closed-toed shoes are required. It deals with the reconstruction of patients who have trauma or cancer from the neck up.
Doctors restore what plastic surgeons cannot- such as ears, noses, and pallets.
You will learn aseptic techniques, interact with patients, and observe exciting restorations. This facility concentrates on isolated injuries and conditions of the exterior face and mouth. The Pediatric clinic performs many dental procedures on children with ages ranging from six to twelve. In the student clinic, you may assist with suctioning and handing instruments while observing chair-side. Some procedures to be observed are cleanings, oral maintenance exams, sealants, fillings, and crowns.
