Many dentists have an area of specialty in which they work. What area of dentistry interests you the most?

The interviewers want to see where your interests lie and what part of the program will be most enjoyable for you. There is no right or wrong answer. The interviewers are merely curious about the career path you will take. After describing your area of interest, give a brief explanation of why you chose that specialty.

Before your interview, you should research areas of specialty offered in dentistry. Then, choose one that most interests you.

Some branches of dentistry:

- Endodontics

- Oral and Maxillofacial surgery

"Oral and maxillofacial surgery interest me the most. When I was six years old, I was attacked by a dog, and he tore up my face and jaw. I had several surgeries over the years and have always admired what a great job my surgeon did. Now, I want to be able to give back to others as he did for me."
