I'm wondering what kind of experience will be considered good for dental school applications? What are you doing for extracurricular activities? It seems harder to get dental related volunteer work or shadowing experience than get emergency room volunteer experinece ...🙂
 
Try for a dental clinic (could be in a hospital), call local dentists to shadow, some do dental assisting (although I personally don't think it is necessary)...after those avenues have been exhausted, any activity showing your altruistic side is a good thing
