Hi fellow applicants,

I don't know how many of you took on a dental related job right after graduating your last year of college, but I had a great opportunity to be a dental technician in a dental restoration lab. I've acquired quite a large number of hours since then. Would it help if I updated my application/ resume details at the colleges? Would it count as dental related experience even though its my job? (I mean, all I do is make partials, bridges and crowns) I haven't got a single interview yet, but I'm starting to think too much... tapping into the possibility of master's programs and such... 😕😕

The dentist I shadow for knows of someone who had pretty low stats (gpa/dat), but who took up a x-ray job in a dental clinic. This experience actually really helped him gain acceptance into a cali school. You should call up the dental schools and see what they say, but I think that it would only help to have such experience.
