I've done quite a bit of shadowing, and nothing has bothered me too much. I'm applying right now, but occasionally when shadowing I get grossed out by things. Not so much smells, but like when watching certain surgeries, like an apicoectomy or a really deep wisdom tooth extraction. Normal stuff, like root canals, crowns, fillings, etc. don't bother me, nor do needles. Just some of the really bloody, intense surgeries.
Should I be concerned? Obviously I don't want to do OMFS or Endo, but I know I'll see some of that stuff going into gen. dentistry.
I don't really think it will bother me when it comes time to see and do some of this stuff, but do you guys know of people who have gotten a bit queasy at times? Can you get used to it?
