Just for the record, no one should bother wasting their time going to
the Pitt dental school for dental work.  The pain in the butt is just
not worth it, even though it is much cheaper.


I October I had my initial visit, they determined I needed a root
canal and crown.  In December I got the root canal.  I've been in the
process of getting the crown ever since; it's still not done yet (in May).

I've been there certainly more than 10 times for this one tooth.
Granted, it's the student's first crown.  And I'm glad he's not
pulling an all nighter to get my tooth done.  But it's ridiculous that
I'm late for my 6 month followup because I haven't gotten all the work
done from my original appointment.

Like most dentists, it's really hit or miss- you get a slow student,
or a fast one, whatever.  Overall it's a big pain though.  I don't
know how I ever could've handled it if I had a Real Job with a less
flexible schedule.
