Dental treatment by students
No patients, no degree. Sounds exaggerated - but that´s the gist of it.
We really need these patiens.
Students treatments are just excellent.
It´s great being around young people,
giving them the chance
to learn knowing that you´re in good hands.
Each step is checked,
and the treatments seem to be
of very high quality.
I tell patients that these students
aren´t absolute beginners.
The first time they get to work with patients
is in their 7th semester.
At this point they have already 3 years
of theoretical education,
not to mention 3 semesters of practical training.
Students always start with lab work
- with no patient in sight -
then gradually train for the real situation.
Like all universities, we use dolls
- phantom heads - to demonstrate
and practice each step of the treatment.
We also employ actor patients
to help students learn appropriate
doctor-patient-communication.
As you can see, they are well prepared
for their first treatment.
Before each treatment, an experienced dentist
makes sure we are prepared,
that we have considered all aspects
regarding further treatment,
asks if we have any question or comments,
and provides us with tips
to make the procedure as easy as possible for us
and satisfactory to the patient.
Our final review at the end of the treatment day
is also based on highquality standards.
Such treatments take a bit longer
because students want to learn things
in the process and explain everything thy do.
There´s always a dentist present
who checks each step
and provides further explanation.
Therefore, patients who, e.g. get a filling
can rest assured it is of high quality.
Each treatment is different from the next.
It always feels like an exam because
we know we will be questionedand tested,
and that we must prove we´re able
to perform the tasks at hand.
We always give our best and try to make
the procedure as comfortable as possible for patients.
They can contact us if they have any problem,
and we´re always reached by mobile phone.
Apart from standard treatments,
students also provide regular follow-up examinations
to check if any new or specific problems have arisen.
If so, there is a specialist
for every single one of them at our university.
We provide state-of-the-art dentistry
as we directly implement every scientific innovation
beneficial to patients.
Not to forget the financial incentives for
statutory insured patients who don´t have to pay
copayments for tooth retention measures,
such as dental filling, root canal treatment,
or periodontal therapy.
Private and prosthetic works are
reasonably priced accordingly.
We try to find solutions for the
individual challenges that each patient presents.
It´s very rewarding to see the results of one´s work
at the end of the day
instead of not knowing what you achieved
because you´re just dealing with abstract matters.
And best of all, the patient can see it, too.
I highly recommend these treatments.
The students and dentists are very competent.
I really feel I’m in good hands here.
