Shadow A Dentist
Shadowing: going to a dentist’s or dental specialist’s office to observe procedures, learn terminology and techniques, observe different practice environments and ask the dental professional questions about his or her journey to practicing dentistry.
Shadowing a dentist offers the opportunity to confirm and demonstrate your desire to pursue dentistry and also helps you picture yourself as a practicing dental professional.
At whatever point you are considering going to dental school, shadowing is a great introduction to deciding if you
want to pursue this education and career. Dental schools like to see applicants with shadowing experience, as it shows that you have taken time to learn about the profession.
It is crucial to prepare yourself for this journey including the application process, attending school, and then pursuing the profession.
