I’m currently shadowing a dentist and gained 100 hours. This is my very first general dentist I’m shadowing and I think I’m cooked because he doesn’t talk at all. Whenever I want to ask a question he’ll just run to his office before I could even open my mouth and he just tells me if I have any questions to ask his assistant. I do ask her about the procedures after the patient leaving, but I need a LOR. I come early hoping to make small talk in the morning, even then he always comes in on time and takes the patient in immediately or is always in his office so there’s no way for me to talk to him. I’m currently a sophomore undergraduate, should I just shadow another dentist and hope they actually talk to me so that I build a relationship with them for LOR? Do I still have time?? I’m going to shadow an oral surgeon and orthodontist over winter break for 30 hours each of them. I don’t know anymore what should I do?
