Now I'm confused. The dental school that is presumably paid for
by the tuitions of the students, doesn't cover the expenses of the
building?

In some cases, it seems that the dental schools charge as much
as a for profit clinic, which covers building, materials, and presumably
the staff at competitive wages. They are expected to operate with a
modicum of efficiency, and not leave the patient sitting around with
his mouth open while waiting for the teacher to come by and discuss
the next thing the student is going to do, or un-do.

My wife went to a dental school, and it was disastrous to her teeth,
and very painful. I've heard at least as many horror stories as I have
accolades, when it comes to dental schools.
