I also just finished a 2-hour course at the DentSim Lab in NYC. As a pre-dental student applying to Dental Schools this upcoming summer, I thought it was really important to expose myself to the perceptual aspect of Dentistry. I also learned the manual skills that I will need when I begin Dental School. It gave me a taste of what I should expect when I am in clinic. I believe that without the proper hand-skills, failing out of dental school is realistic. I definitely plan on returning to DentSim Lab NYC to take part in a more advanced course, but for now I am thrilled by with the exposure I received, and have the satisfaction of knowing that I am in the right field. I scored a 93 on my first amalgam preparation for class 1, on tooth #19!
