Dental Now
What these pages cover
Dental Now has a dedicated shadowing page for each of the 76 CODA-accredited US dental schools, organized across 39 states and territories. Every page explains the shadowing-hour expectations applicants face, and how to turn the hours you log into a record the dentist you shadowed has confirmed by their NPI number. Pick your school below to get started.
A planning resource, not a guarantee. Shadowing requirements vary by school and year, and Dental Now is not affiliated with any school listed. Always confirm the current requirement directly with the school's admissions office, the final authority.
