"Because I am new to my career as a dental assistant, I have not had the opportunity to work with a dental specific program. I am, however, well versed in the entire Microsoft Office Suite, and am highly tech-savvy. Which programs do you use here? I would love to give myself a head start on training by searching for online tutorials in the meantime."

"I feel that I have used them all, in my ten years as a dental assistant! I am most familiar with ACE Dental Software and iDental Soft. I am tech savvy and have taught many junior dental assistants on new programs during my career. Which programs do you use here?"

The interviewer would like to know more about the programs that you have been exposed to in your career as a dental assistant. It's best to list the types of programs you have worked in, state the amount of years' experience in each, and then grade yourself as a beginner, intermediate, or advanced user. If you have trained other dental assistants on a program, be sure to mention that here as well. If you are unsure of the type of applications and software used in this particular clinic, be sure to ask!

"I have worked in three different dental clinics who used a variety of programs including Denticon, MaxiDent, and PracticeWeb. I have approximately four years' experience in each and would rate myself as an intermediate user."
