Hi I am shadowing my dentist for the first time next week and was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what exactly to do.
Do I just follow the dentist the whole day?
What are some of the do's and don'ts when shadowing?
How close do you stand when the dentist is doing procedures? Far away or right next to the patient up where you can see what exactly is going on in the mouth?
How do you make it less awkward for patients? I am pretty sure some patients will feel uncomfortable for a random person is just staring at them the whole time.
If anyone can answer that would be nice. Any other advices would also be nice too. Thanks.
