A group of 28 Maine high school students are spending the week at a different kind of summer camp: the Dental Careers Exploration Camp run by the University of New England in Portland, ME, according to a story by KMOV.
The students will learn about dental techniques, including preparing teeth, taking x-rays, and placing sutures. They'll also spend a day job shadowing at a dentist's office.
The university's dean said he hopes the camp will inspire the next generation of dentists.
