🦷 Pacific ASDA Pre-Dental Day 2026 🦷

What an incredible day connecting with future dentists! From hands-on simulation lab workshops and mock interviews to personal statement reviews, DAT/AADSAS guidance, student panels, and campus tours, Pre-Dental Day gave aspiring dental students a closer look at the journey to dentistry.

A huge thank you to all of our dental student volunteers, speakers, and attendees who helped make this one of our biggest and most impactful events of the year. We loved sharing our experiences, answering questions, and inspiring the next generation of oral healthcare professionals.

We can’t wait to see where your dental journeys take you! ✨🦷
