I read hundreds of things online about what and how to write one but I still can't figure out what to write. I don't have any stories relating to dentistry that I could put on paper. Should I make a few up then?
Thanks for this. You took away some burden from my shoulder. Thanks.It is easy to tie community service to helping people with their oral health and giving back to the community/volunteering etc. And just talk about what you really liked about your shadowing experience and what you learned from the dentist. I would write about the shadowing experience of whichever dentist is writing your lor. You really don't need some crazy backstory on why you want to be a dentist just be honest and tie everything together.
Is a dentist LOR required? All the schools I plan on applying to just say 3 science professorsIt is easy to tie community service to helping people with their oral health and giving back to the community/volunteering etc. And just talk about what you really liked about your shadowing experience and what you learned from the dentist.

Nailed it. Best policy with PS, honesty, especially where your motivation for dentistry is concerned. If it's money, great. Tell the ADCOMS and if they accept you then cool, you'll get what you desire.Then why do you want to become a dentist? Like you don't have any reason behind it?
In it for the money?
In it for the fame?
In it for personal reason?
Elaborate on those.

Adcoms aren't expecting you to have some miraculous story about how dentistry changed your life. Talk about yourself and just some important personal experiences that have shaped you and perhaps put you on a path towards dentistry. Whatever you do, don't sound generic. Make a narrative. Be you.

If it's generic its generic. They aren't expecting a cancer story or death from rotten teeth story. Explain your motivations for dentistry.
