"Over the last four years of my undergraduate program, I became heavily involved in work with youth in the community. I volunteered in schools with the reading program because I have a passion for literacy education. I also volunteered at the children's hospital, where I helped transport patients and families around the campus."

A great answer here will stick to a couple of interesting facts to show the interviewers that you are a real person, too. Your answer should be unique so that you are a memorable candidate! At the end of your response, remember to connect the factors you discuss and how they will ensure that you are a stellar dental student and future dentist. Remember that you are not obligated to talk about personal matters like your relationship status, but you are more than welcome to volunteer any information that you feel would help the interviewers get to know you a bit better.
