During your Dental Admission Test, your manual dexterity was likely tested. Your interviewers want to hear how you are fine-tuning your motor skills. You can talk about drawing, painting, carving, knitting, or learning a musical instrument that requires hand-eye coordination. The list of things you can talk about is endless, so talk about the importance of keeping these skills throughout your career as a dentist as your answer.

"I feel blessed to have been born with great manual dexterity skills, and I'm confident in my ability to work with precision inside of a patient's mouth. Over the last five years, I've continued to hone my skills in this area by taking up sketching and knitting. Knowing that dentistry was my passion and my future, I knew that developing these skills and keeping them sharp would be very important to my success."
