At Western University School of Dental Medicine, we want students with a true passion for dentistry. What appeals to you most about working in the field of dentistry?

"Several factors drive my passion for a career in dentistry. If I had to pinpoint one main driver, I would say that creating amazing smiles every day is the most significant for me. Everyone deserves a smile they are proud of, and my patients will always drive me to be my best in my work."

"Working in a helping profession, as dentistry is, allows me to work to improve the lives of others daily in a very tangible way. Making others feel comfortable and confident in the way that they present themselves is a gratifying way to spend my career."

It is okay to share a personal story when answering this question. Perhaps you can discuss what initiated your interest in attending dental school. Whatever drives you, make sure the interviewers can feel your passion as you speak about your motivations to pursue a career in dentistry.
