So should I also shadow during high school and college as an undergrad for more experience of shadowing? I want to become a dentist In a couple years and want to learn a lot before I go into college so I know about dentistry and the process and all of that. I want to become one because I’ve had bad traumatic experiences in the past at the dentist and don’t want anyone to have to experience what I did. So I want to learn so much and can’t wait to become a dentist and go to dental school!
Well that is completely up to you, but if it was me I would go for it. This was just for a high school assignment for my senior project. I’m going into the field nursing to work with kids. But I wish you the best of luck to becoming a dentist! Can’t wait till you reach your goals! ✨😄
Panda May I think nursing with kids is amazing! That’s an amazing job there’s so many benefits and great things! Maybe my senior year I might have to do something similar we’ll see ☺️ thank you so so much! I’m happy you found the job that would make you the happiest! Good luck with everything and thank you again 😊. It think dentistry is my passion (it’s been my dream job for 3 years now) and I just wish I was in dental school like now 😭☺️ but I have something to look forward too! Thank you again good luck with nursing with kids I’m sure that will be amazing! 😊😊☺️☺️
Panda May aww thank you so much I’m always willing to Listen to yours as well! I’d love to hear about and I will remember I will make a note ☺️. And subscribe! ☺️ thank you again 😊
thank you for posting! I truly got a lot out of this- I know it was 2 years ago but what was the most interesting aspect of this? I’m an undergrad who was pre-med and then I switched to pre-law, but i’m thinking of going back to pre-med with dental school on my mind. Before I switch I want to shadow someone to see if I truly like it!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you got something out of it! Hmm I would say the most interesting aspect would be watching the doctor and assistant work. Ooo that’s cool! Ya go for it it doesn’t hurt to try! I wish you the best in your journey!
If I remember since it been soo long ago, the notes were mainly for my class to put on a PowerPoint. Ex: what was going on at the office, what I was told to do and I had to do that every hour if I remember correctly.
Hi, ik the vid came out two years ago. Do I need to know any dental things when I shadow a dentist. I’m in pre-dental and a first year in college now, and I need to shadow a dentist sometime soon. Any tips you could give me
oooo yay to being in pre-dental/first year thats awesome! So i'm not fully sure if you need experience, since i did this for a senior project for HS and honestly was supposed to shadow a nurse but to be on the safe side i'm a say it depends. i say this because when i shadowed all i did was just clean, prepare the room/trays and bag/clean instruments, i wasn't doing anything really hands on with the patient but over the time ever since have work there, i was able to do xrays, clean teeth, and help with extractions/procedures. hmmm, Tipss i would give you that helped me was ~have a small note book (to take notes) ~ get to know the basic tools that the dentist usually uses (since most of the time they will ask you for a certain item) -ex Basic set, forcep, dental mirror etc. ~i have noticed dentist like to get things done (like fast) so try to be near or around there pace when it comes to them asking for stuff ~overall stay calm you got this! So ya thats all i got for now if you have any more questions i would be glad to try to help you out! (good luck on your path to being a dentist, you got this!)
