Long story short, I have been working as a dental assistant for several years and it has been the only kind of job I've had. Should I list that under dentistry/shadowing experience or work experience or can it be both?
 
I had the same question. I called AADSAS and they said list it under Dentistry/Shadowing Experience. There is an option were you can select paid in Dentistry/Shadowing experiences. The work experience is more of non-dental related working such as working at the supermarket.

Duh... But, don't double count. You got enough hours for dental experience and don't need to worry about it.
