    Volunteering in a dental practice?
    Hi,

    Do some dental practices allow volunteers to work part/full time in a reception or non-clinical setting to do general admin stuff and running errands? Would this be a good way to obtain work experience as you can see how a dental practice works, talk to dentists, etc?

    It is possible. Dear, I have started a nursing course for the sake of getting placements and i did find a few really as a trainee nurse. However, getting the time needed to speak to a busy dentist on dentistry topics while doing admin things is ... let your experience prove for itself what it is. :beer:
