I have submitted my dental application but the only experiences that I have included were dental shadowing. Should I include jobs?. I worked as a pharmacy tech, camp counselor, and an usher, but I feel like that isn't relevant. Also, I volunteered at an animal shelter. What do you think? Should I be including these things?

You should definitely include all of those things! They show that you're a well rounded person. Especially all volunteering experiences should be included
 
I did include my jobs, because since I was busy working, I didn't have as much time to volunteer or shadow. I didn't want adcoms thinking (if I didn't put anything) that I just wasted my time and didn't get as many hours. Hope this helps!🙂
Thank you for sharing!
