I submitted my AADSAS application June 1st and told my four evaluators that I needed them June 1st. Only one of them has submitted thus far. Should I be worried? How long should I give them before I send another reminder? I know they have all received the link for submission......

I actually sent all my evaluators an email after I entered their email address into the application to confirm if they had received the email from AADSAS. That way you don't look like you're hurrying them along, but instead are subtly reminding them to submit that letter asap. Also, don't worry- your application doesn't need to go in on June 1st. You have 2-3 weeks after the application opens before the first batch is even sent in. You'll be fine!

Okay thank you! I have done that but they still haven't submitted. So should I give them a week or so before I email them again?

Have they responded to your first email? If so, then yes wait a week and email them again stressing that you would like to submit your application as soon as possible. Just be nice about it! They want to help you, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed to write you a LOR.

Yes they responded just saying they received it. Not saying or indicating when they planned to submit... if for whatever reason I got the feeling they won't submit it for awhile or really bad at communicating should I find another dentist to write one? If so how do I tell the current dentist I no longer need theirs or that I understand they are busy and that if they don't have time to write one that it's okay. Because I let them know a month ago I needed it one June 1st. Sorry I appreciate you helping me out with this stressful situation!

I would give it a few weeks before asking for any updates. Your application will still go through and be verified even without the completed LOR's. As long as it's before July (before the earliest interview invites are out) you're still fine.
