Interpretive
The most important thing I gained from this experience would be all the hidden things dentists do. Many people think that all dentists do is clean teeth and that is false, There is another side to maintaining a profitable dental office and that deals with dental insurance and patient care. A dentist must make sure that their patients get the care they need but also pay their fees. There are many things that dentists do and I have learned more in depth what they do and everything they do. This information could not have been obtained by reading a book or doing research, the only way to learn this is from actually mentoring, which I did.

My mentor was the one who helped me come up with all my answers and my EQ. All of my answers require me to see with my own eyes what a dentist does and that is what I got to do. Following Dr. Patel around in her dentistry assisting her has helped me obtain a far better understanding of the answers to my EQ and even more information.

Mentorship 10 hours check

1. Montclair Dentist Office.

2. Dr. Rita V. Patel (DDS, Doctoral of Dental Surgery)

3. 65 hours and 30 minutes.

4. Normally I would go into the patient rooms with Dr. Patel and help her out with many things. For example, the thing I do most often is operate the suction machine which keeps the patients from choking from their saliva when Dr. Patel is operating in their mouths. Other things I do is help mix the product that she puts in cavities to treat them. When Dr. Patel doesn't need my help, i file the files that need to be organized.
