Hello! I'm new to this forum but I knew from a young age I wanted to become a dentist/orthodontist...
With that being said, I would like to receive more information on what I should do/should BE doing...
I'm an upcoming senior in high school and I have NO medical/dental education experience at all.
I'm trying to shadow a dentist to see how the job works and what i should be expecting.
I'm planning to send out some letters to dentists in my area via mail explaining my situation etc.
Is this a good idea? If any dentists see this thread, do you think asking by mail is too.. idk what the word is too belittling (?) Should I ask if I can come in for a quick interview sort of thing over the phone? If anybody has done this, please give me some things that I should say that seems appropriate for this. (if that even makes sense)
Is it okay if I have no clue what is going on?
Thank you in advance and sorry for so many questions
