How do I shadow a dentist?!?
As of right now, I'm a senior in high school! To make the long story short, I want to become a dentist!
I've did numerous amounts of research regarding the road to becoming a dentist. It sounds like a career I'm really interested in pursuing!
My question is--Do you have to shadow dentists to get into dental school? If so, how do I go about this? Do I just randomly call different dental offices and ask if I can shadow? And, when should I start doing this? I was thinking my last two years of college!

You can start doing it now. Tell them you're very interested in becoming a dentist and want to make sure it's really what you want to do. Just call up a random dentist or even your dentist and ask if you can shadow them. If they say no just keep calling - there are tons of them out there! Good luck becoming a dentist!
