Dentistry Work Experience For Medicine

I have done some work experience shadowing a dentist, is there any point talking about or putting this in my personal statement for medicine.

It is a healthcare setting where you see how a professional interacts with a patient, so worth writing about.

Nope. It is a healthcare setting and any health related experience looks good. They might ask you in the interview why you chose not to go into dentistry at the placement. You could then talk about what didn't appeal to you in dentistry, and how medicine is different.
