How do you handle a situation where the dentist you are supporting does not correctly communicate information to you?

"I have worked for a dentist who was incredibly brief in her communication. Many times, I would have to put the pieces together for myself. I managed through it, and it taught me independent thought."

You cannot force others to communicate with you in a way that you would always prefer. Talk to the interviewer about a time that you have handled a dentist who does not interact with you in a way that you like.

"Whenever I have had a dentist who does not properly communicate with me, I try to learn their style of communication and emulate it. Sometimes you simply have to relate to others in their style to be understood."
