Really good tips. During lockdown physical experience will be hard so I think zoom interviews will be extremely useful 🙂

With dentists at home more due to lockdown, this is the time to get onto Zoom and find out about dentistry as a career

How can you shadow a dental student? Wouldn't you be unable to follow them whilst they're at university/placement? Thanks

[@LancashireSmiles]

Dental students may be able to connect you with the dentists who teach at dental schools. There may be an opportunity to shadow during a clinic where dental students treating patients are being supervised by dentists.
