Dental Anatomy Book

I would recommend not bothering with trying to get a head start on dental school.
A couple dentists I shadow told me to get a head start and learn as much as I can. Why do you think I shouldn't try? Just so I don't get burnt out?I would recommend not bothering with trying to get a head start on dental school.

It's maybe 50% burnout but 50% I feel is a lot of people believe this is the last chance to truly vegetate for a bit since some dental school summers are really short and you may be doing other productive things during those. I asked the med forums about prestudying (hence this username) and that's what they've told me. So I've been sitting on my arse for the past like 6-7 months and just enjoying myself while also playing sports and chillin with friends. I'll let yall know if I regret this and should have had my nose deep in some textbooks if I eff up d1 year hahaA couple dentists I shadow told me to get a head start and learn as much as I can.

If you want to really learn, learn about dentistry. Learn about the economics of it. Let's face it, autonomy is a big factor in the decision to head down this path. Learning about these things now will give you a huge head start.
Don't bother. Who knows what your dental anatomy professor may want you to learn? Enjoy your free time while you have it - there will be plenty of time for you to spend your weekends studying once you start D1.
Inspiring, OP.

exactly, so you don't get burnt out. you will be working very hard during the school year. I'd just enjoy summer as much as possible if I were you
I start as a D1 on July 24 and I've pretty much been doing nothing and enjoying it while I can. Although I did come across a dental anatomy coloring book in a used bookstore and bought it. I didn't want to do any hardcore studying but figured I could work on it a bit just so I won't be hearing the terms for the first time in class. Bought it a few weeks ago and have yet to open it though so we'll see lol
Haha doing anatomy color book sounds like super awesome stress killer when you're like watching a movie or somethingI start as a D1 on July 24 and I've pretty much been doing nothing and enjoying it while I can.
