For example, if I listed a volunteer experience under dental experience, should I list it again under the volunteer section?
 
No. Your hours will get calculated twice and will be a misrepresentation of what you actually did. I would only list it in the dental experience section.

Be very careful with stuff like that. You never want the appearance that you're "double dipping. "
 
You can, I volunteered at a free service thing that was also shadowing as I was with an actual dentist the entire time. Just don't go out of your way to do it more than once.
