just wondering, do you guys buy your supplies (e.g. plastic teeth, burs, extra instruments, etc) directly from the school or from a dental company like Henry Schein or Dentsply? i think dental school stores are more expensive than outside sources..is that true?

I buy them from my school...it is cheaper. My school buys everything in bulk and then sells them to us at cost, so we could never get a cheaper price buying them ourselves....I've checked.

You guys have to buy everything yourselves? We just go to the dispensary and they give us everything we need -- within reason. Are you guys in charge of sterilizing your own stuff? How do you manage it between patients or do you have multiple handpieces and instrument cassetes and just sterilize it all at the end of the day?

BTW, applebite what's up with ripping on everyone's avatar? Making fun of a guy's girlfriend is pretty crummy.
