If you have not provided your resume or curriculum vitae (CV) in advance, be sure to bring a physical copy to the interview. If you have previous employment experience, talk about the commitment you demonstrated to that employer. If you do not have previous employment experience as a dental hygienist, focus on the time you spent in training that dealt with direct patient care. The employer wants to know that you have demonstrated the ability to build the skills required to perform the responsibilities of a dental hygienist.
"I was a dental hygienist for three years at my previous employer. During that time, I consistently met the production goals. I had a great relationship with the dentist. We enjoyed working together, and would collaborate on how to uniquely cater treatment to each patient in order to achieve the best outcome."
"I recently completed my training in dental hygiene, but the last year of my education was focused on patient care. During that time, I have become more efficient, confident, and skilled in providing hygiene services. I found that I enjoyed treating a variety of patients, and those with the most severe needs were often the most grateful."
