I shadowed a dentist who by the end of the shadowing offered to write a recommendation letter and seemed enthusiastic about it. However, he sent it to me and although it seems like a good letter, idk if it's strong enough to use it for dental school applications. What does a strong letter from a dentist talks about / looks like? Also, if anyone with experience is willing to read the letter and give their feedback DM me. Thanks!!

Willing to read!
 
We can read it and give feedback, but honestly, how will you tactfully tell him the letter isn't positive enough for your liking? I'd like to see that email!

You can take solace in knowing that admission officers understand that dentist letters are mostly generic and mildly positive, since you're only there in an observational capacity.
