Australian VS North American Dental Schools And Dentists ?
Q: Does anyone know how the quality of dental schools in Australia compare to
North American ones. What about experiences with Australian Dentists?
A:That's the same as what happens in New Zealand. Most primary schools (i.e.
not High schools) have dental clinics on site. I think they starting to
move away from this, tho'. It was awful when you were at school: The dental
nurse would start calling for kids and then the last kid she saw would tell
the next kid they were to be seen. Unfortunately, sometimes people "cried
wolf" and treated it as a joke and so you'd turn up at the clinic and find
that you weren't seen.
The other thing is that when I was at primary school (1971 thru 1978) the
dental nurses NEVER used injections when giving fillings. You just had to
LIVE with the pain. Yuck. Going to a proper dentist when you got to high
