I'm a post-grad currently working full-time as a lab tech and wish to remain at this job for now, but would like to get as much shadowing hours as possible. I've moved around a lot within the past few years, so I can't ask my own dentist because it's not always the same person.

I was planning on grabbing a yellowbook and try calling around. I was wondering when the best time was to speak with the dentist concerning this issue as I do not want to call during busy hours. I was also wondering if it would be a better approach to just go into different offices and ask in person.
I'm sure I'll get some rejections, but hopefully someone will be willing to let me shadow.

What approach did you take?
