MDAS invites dental offices and practices to join our growing network of clinical training locations. Collaborating with local dental practices helps our students gain invaluable hands-on experience in various aspects of dentistry. They are exposed to specialties such as orthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery, which enhances their understanding of the field.
For instance, while working in an orthodontic practice, students observe and assist with braces application, learn about patient management during treatment, and grasp the importance of follow-up appointments. Moreover, they may engage in creating treatment plans, capturing digital impressions, and utilizing 3D imaging technology.
These enriching experiences not only hone their skills but also prepare them to tackle real-world challenges they will face in their careers. In periodontics, students gain insights into gum health, the techniques involved in scaling and root planning, and managing periodontal diseases, further equipping them for success in dentistry.
Each clinical training location also offers unique networking and mentorship opportunities. Students can establish relationships with experienced dental professionals who share their insights, helping students as they begin their careers. They engage in discussions about case studies, learn the latest advancements in dental technology, and receive constructive feedback on their clinical skills.
