Am Wondering If My Dentistry Experience Is Sufficient For Graduate Entry?

Hi guys, so I originally applied for Dentistry in 2017, and had about four weeks of experience shadowing a Dentist in a general practice.

Since then, I've decided to go for 2021 postgrad entry, but have not been able to secure any further dental work experience because of Covid.

Instead, I've started volunteering at an NHS Hospital in Manchester, doing things like patient liaison. By the application deadline, I will have done about 4 months of volunteering.

My questions are: will the four weeks be sufficient? Will the time passed since 2017 make a difference, and would the hospital volunteering come in handy?

Any advice would be appreciated!
You should check the University’s website about that. But also, the work experience requirements have changed slightly due to Covid-19. It would come in handy as you have something to talk about during interviews. Good luck!
