Research in Dental Health?

[deleted1040417]

Does research in oral health at my state's dental school (at undergrad campus) scream dentistry? One of my peers knows I've been struggling to get a position for research and said they'd vouch to their PI for me if I wanted. I am interested in the research as well even though I don't have many options and looks like there would be plenty of opportunities to work on my own project if I were to land a spot in their lab.

It seems reasonable. Or at least as reasonable (or more reasonable) that working in a geology lab. If you are learning/practicing skills that have wide applicability (PCR, cell cultures, etc) no one will care if you are working at a dental school lab.

Thank you, I will ask for more details about that as well!

The point should be to learn the scientific method of hypothesis development and testing through observation.
