Should I talk about switching from pre-opt to pre-dent in my PS?

For my last two years of undergrad, I was pre-opt. I shadowed, did internships, and even took my OAT. After working full time at an opt office after graduation, I realized opt wasn't for me anymore. For a time, I didn't have any sense of direction and was just working for a year as an admin assistant. Earlier this year, I finally looked into shadowing a dentist and began to really like what I was seeing. As I learned more about the profession, I decided I wanted to apply to this cycle. Right now, I am drafting my PS and wonder if it's a good idea or not to quickly touch on how I was pre-opt for a while, which explains why all of my work experiences have been opt related and not dental. Does anyone have any experience with situations like this?

Would, hopefully, your new squeeze be interested in hearing about your ex?
