FAQs
→ Do I need to do a dental workshop to study dentistry?
You don’t necessarily need to do a dental workshop but while it is not a requirement to study dentistry, it is recommended to undertake some form of dental work experience. Work experience shows universities that you are committed to the profession and understand what being a dentist involves. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to gain insight into the day-to-day work of a dentist and decide if it’s the right career for you.
→ Can I attend a dental workshop if I’m still in school?
Yes, you can attend a workshop while still in school. Many universities offer dental workshops or summer school programmes for high school students interested in pursuing a career in Dentistry. Additionally, you can volunteer at care homes or contact local dental practices to inquire about work experience opportunities.
→ How long should dentistry work experience be?
The duration of dentistry work experience can vary depending on the placement type and the organisation’s requirements. A dental workshop will typically take place over a day or two, while some other dental placements could last a week or more. It’s essential to check the requirements and expectations of the placement before applying and plan accordingly.
→ Is it necessary to reflect on a dental workshop?
Universities will not ask to see a dental reflection but your work experiences will form part of your personal statement as well as your dental interview so it is important to take time to reflect on the impact it had on you. When reflecting on a dental workshop, include your placement details, including what you observed, learned, and contributed. It would be best to reflect on how the experience has influenced your understanding of dentistry, your personal and professional development, and your career goals. It’s essential to be honest, specific, and reflective in your reflection to show the impact of the experience on your growth as an aspiring dentist.
