There is no right or wrong answer to this question. What is important is that you have at least put some thought into this and that you come to your interview prepared to discuss your career plans and training path. If you need to before the interview, you should conduct some research on areas of specialty offered in dentistry. These include endodontics, orthodontics, prosthodontics, pediatrics, periodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery.
