QUESTION 26 OF 40

Have you ever had significant dental work? Tell me about your experience as a patient. What made it memorable?

The interviewer wants to know about your experience as a dental patient. As a dentistry student, you should have a unique perspective on this. Keep your answer simple and positive, and share what that experience informed you.

"I had braces as a teenager and remember that the orthodontist I saw was great at keeping my nerves at bay. He had a cool office and let me pick the color of my elastics, which I always liked. This particular dentist showed me the importance of great dental hygiene. I hope to have a similar bedside manner when I am a dentist."
