Hello! I’m a senior in undergrad and have everything set to apply to dental school. However, due to COVID I didn’t start actually shadowing until recently.
I find dentistry very boring. The first few days I came in I was kind of interested in what all the dentists were doing, but now that I’m almost 30 hours in it’s all just so boring. I don’t really care about teeth or oral health/pathology, which now has me wondering what’s even the point of pursuing dentistry if I don’t even like it now?
Is this normal or should I go in a different direction?
(( got interested in dentistry bc of good work/life balance, helping people, the teaching aspect, love science, and stable employment))
