The dentist I have been shadowing for about a year is my family dentist. She is the most familiar with me and my abilities as far as writing my LOR, but will it seem like a conflict of interest if I am her patient? Has anybody else used their dentist as their LOR writer?
 
I think it should be fine to have her write the LOR because you are shadowing her and she isn't just your dentist. If you feel that she doesn't know you well enough (like your interests in dentistry etc), then maybe reconsider but otherwise I think I lot of people shadow their own dentists so it's fine
