The following primarily pertains to St. Louis events. While you are outside of St. Louis, contact local dentists, dental clinics, and dental schools to find additional opportunities to volunteer in and learn more about the dental field.
Volunteer Opportunities:
Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) is a biannual event that provides free dental care to children (Grades K-8).
Shadowing Opportunities:
For a list of local St. Louis dentists you may shadow, please e-mail us at predentalwashu@gmail.com
Dental Instrument Packet: UCSD’s Pre-Dental Society has compiled images and explanations of instruments commonly used in the dental office. Reviewing this before or after shadowing/assisting a dentist will help you gain more from each experience.
