    Elinore Armstrong shadowed Wendy Butler, a licensed dental assistant with 20 years of experience, at North Bay Dental Care to learn about dentistry and dental hygiene. Over two weeks after school, Elinore helped set up and break down operatories, cleaned tools, and observed dental practices while balancing schoolwork and homework. Though challenging aspects included maintaining patient confidentiality and using suction tools, successes included assisting in a procedure and independently preparing exam rooms. The shadowing experience influenced Elinore's interest in dental hygiene by relating nutrition to oral health and helped her better understand dental practices.
