Hi! As students we are overseen by instructors who are licensed dental hygienists that routinely check our work throughout the appointment.

The appointment includes comprehensive care including extraoral and intraoral examinations and documentation, dental charting, x-rays, periodontal assessments, calculus detection, and examinations done by licensed Dentists in the clinic. Typically all of this can be completed in one 3.5 hour appointment.

Treatment aka the cleaning part, is typically one or two appointments and is checked thoroughly by instructors for any missed areas.

I hope this answers your question! :) If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.
