"I have never been a queasy individual, and I fully understand the cases I will see in my career as a Dentist. I work part-time at our local drop-in shelter and have seen many situations involving blood. To deal with the situation, I think about the fact that it's a human being who needs my help. I believe this mentality will get me through any undesirable situation during my dental training here at Nova Southeastern University."

You can keep your answer simple by discussing your ability to handle events involving blood and other bodily fluids. If you have direct experience working with blood, saliva, or other bodily fluids, now is a great time to discuss how you handled those situations safely and respectfully.
