How to find dental internships?
I am going to be attending community college in the fall and then transferring, likely to a UC but may apply out of state as well. What is the best way I would be able to find internships this summer, or in the near future, in the dental industry without being enrolled in dental school?

Dear Sofia:
I can tell you that, at least in my country, there are more job openings for Dental Assistants than for Dentists. And many of these openings don't require a degree in dentistry. However, you must learn the names of each instrument, the dental supplies, and their uses. You must be organized and leave everything clean and sterilized at the end of each day. You'll learn a lot if you work as a dental assistant, and you'll make better decisions about your academic future.
Good luck and I hope I've helped you!
