UNC Dentistry School
Low cost care for students
By DEBRA SMITH
Tar Heel Staff Writer
Going away to college doesn't
have to mean neglecting good
dental care if you take advantage
of the UNC School of Dentistry,
which offers treatment compar
able to that of private dental
practices at a fraction of the cost.
Anyone living in the state can
use the services offered by the
Dental School, said Dr. F.W.
McCracken, assistant dean of the
School. "We just love .having
students come in," he said.
Three levels of practice are
offered at the School. The first
level is the student clinic, which
offers basic dental care such as
filling cavities and cleaning teeth.
These services are performed for
about one-third of what private
practices would charge.
"If the needs are too compli
cated for the student clinic, we
have the graduate or specialty
clinic," McCracken said. The fees
for treatment at this level are
around two-thirds of the cost of
the same treatment in a private
practice.
Although the fees for service
at the Dental School are reduced,
the care provided is professional,
according to McCracken. Every
step of work done by a student
is double-checked by a faculty
member, he added.
In addition to the two student
clinics, Dental School faculty

By including the
American Cancer Society
in your will, you can have a
powerful effect on those
who come after you.
And leaving behind a
legacy of life for others is a
beautiful way of living for
ever yourself.

members offer treatment in all
specialties at fees comparable to
those of private practices.
In order to be accepted as a
patient in the School, one must
first go to the screening clinic,
where a $7 fee covers the cost of
a dental examination and X-ray.
A faculty member then conducts
a consultation with the patient,
referring him to a clinic if
necessary.
UNC Student Health Service
also refers patients to the Dental
School. According to
McCracken, students who come
to the School with dental emer
gencies are not charged if they
were referred by Student Health.
As dental technology advan
ces, the School constantly
improves the quality of treatment
that is offered to patients,
McCracken said. The use of
dental sealants, which are placed
on teeth to prevent decay, is one
example of the newer treatments.
"The advantage is that it's a
totally painless procedure," he
said.
Approximately 700-1000 stu
dents each year take advantage
of the services offered by Dental
School students and faculty,
McCracken said. "At times there
may be a problem getting a
screening appointment.'" he said,
adding that students who make
appointments should probably
expect about a four- to six-week
wait.
"However, we do encourage
students, especially undergradu
ates who have the time, to come
in," McCracken said.

similar orientation, Zeugner said,
although the emphasis of their
academic programs will be
different.
"We have tried to get former
transfers as Orientation Counse
lors for the transfers," he said,
"because they are more familiar
with problems such as whether
course credits will transfer in or
not."
Orientation for graduate stu
dents will be much less structured
than that for the other groups,
said Sharon Weston-Dawkes,
graduate program coordinator.
Weston-Dawkes said the various
academic departments take a
much more active role in grad
uate student Orientation.
Zeugner said, "Grad student
Orientation will focus more on
the community because many
grad students are married and
have families. They want to know
more about communitv services."
Convocation for transters and
graduate students will be held
Aug. 19 in Memorial Hall.
The social aspect of Orienta
tion for freshmen will feature a
variety of parties, cookouts and
mixers, Kothapalli said. This will
be the first year that alcohol will
be prohibited from any activity
sponsored by the Orientation
Commission, because of the new
legal drinking age of 19, she said.
In addition, each residenc
area will sponsor social event
she said.
The Orientation Commission
will present the movies 48 Hours
and Psycho, and on Friday, Aug.
24, will hold a field day, featuring
events in which the various
housing areas compete, Zeugner
said.
"The purpose of field day is to
provide something that everyone
can compete in, not just outstand
ing athletes," he said.
