During my internship at a dental practice, I learned a lot about the daily work in a dentist´s office. I usually started my day at 9 a.m. and worked in different areas at the practice. I was allowed to watch treatments and sometimes help with small tasks. I also cleaned and packed the instruments and learned how important hygiene is in a dental practice.
I spent some time in the prophylaxis area, where I watched professional teeth cleaning. The staff was very friendly and explained everything to me step by step.
Overall the internship was very interesting and helpful. I gained new experiences and learned many new things.
I recommend doing an internship at the dentist´s office if you like working in the medical field. It did get boring after some time but it was okay.
