If you're interested in dentistry in the Bay Area, a great way to start is by getting some hands-on experience. Try contacting local dental offices to see if you can shadow a dentist for a day or two. Even a few hours of observing can teach you a lot. You might also consider volunteering at community health clinics that offer dental care to people in need. The Bay Area has excellent programs linked to schools like the University of California, San Francisco, which focus on dental education and public health, so keeping an eye on those opportunities is a smart move for the future.

Starting a fundraiser for cleft lip is a wonderful idea. It shows leadership and kindness, qualities that dental schools appreciate. If starting an organization feels like too much, begin with something smaller. You could organize a single fundraiser, team up with an existing nonprofit, or run an awareness campaign at your school. Look into groups like Smile Train that support cleft lip and palate surgeries and see how you can help them locally.

For now, concentrate on doing well in science classes like biology and chemistry, get involved in community service, and explore healthcare settings. Dentistry combines science, precision, business, and connecting with patients.
