Recommendation from Research Dentist

[Kyu]

Hi, I'm applying to dental school next year and was just wondering.
I am going to start working with a dentist (DMD/PhD) who does only research at my university.
When I apply next year, can I get recommendation from him as a "recommendation from Dentist"?

Anyone?

Do you have any shadowing experience from a practicing dentist at all?

While I had over 250 hours of dental assisting and other shadowing, I got my Dentist letter from my Research PI (DDS PhD), and I got into a number of schools, so seems like it worked out fine for me. Though call and ask your particular schools I guess, just to be safe.

I am trying to find one right now but still looking.....
Since I have another year left, I guess it's ok for right now but thanks.
