You weren't the one that they accidentally set on fire, were you? ;-)
Oh no, that was at a different school. ;-)

Welcome to dental school dentistry. Some of the things you mentioned
are a fact of life if you are going to a teaching institution for
dental work. If you have the time but not the dime, it can be a good
place for having some work done. It will depend on the student you
get, what is done, the instructors, the school, etc of course.

I found the dental lab at the university I went to did some excellent
work. It's not for everyone, but you can receive some nice quality
work by dental students, and it's all a part of the educational
experience. If no one were to have work done there, how would
dentists learn how to do dentistry?

You might visit the Studentdoctor forum, and open a dialogue there to
get some direct feedback from the dental students and faculty if you
wish.
