Hey all.
I've been shadowing a few different general dentists as well as specialists and I'm planning on asking for LoRs soon (from a general dentist or a periodontist). I know that the periodontist would write me a stellar letter, but I feel like the general dentist's letter might be lacking because he's busy and just overall doesn't seem like the guy who would want to write a letter.
Do I ask just the perio? Do I get both? I did hear that there is some preference towards a letter from a general practitioner so that's why I'm concerned; but also don't want a mediocre letter of recommendation on my file.
