How many hours of volunteer work and dental shadowing do dental schools look for in a good application?

Thank you doc toothache for the information.

What if you volunteer at a hospitals dental clinic? Would you put that under volunteering or shadowing? As I get to shadow as well as help out.

Is volunteering hours as important on an app that is already research-heavy?

Any volunteering is better than none. Volunteering shows the adcoms that you care about society. If anything, try to get at least 50?
