Clinical work before Dental School?

I was fortunate enough to land a job at a dental office, but the problem is that I ended up working as a receptionist for the majority of the time. I do work in the back, but this is only periodically and because my employer recognizes that I have career aspirations to become a Dentist.

So, enough background information and to my question: What jobs can a Pre-Dent student get with only a radiology safety certification?

Sorry for any grammatical or spelling errors in advance! 🙂

are you applying to dental school?? any exposure to a dental clinic is a plus. i'm not sure what else you can get 'job wise' though. i worked at the front desk as well for about two years, and i feel like it was a sure boost in my application since i learned so much terminology and patient care methods on the job. however, if you don't have any further certification, it might be difficult to land a job in a higher rung.
