"Knowing that attending dental school was my path for the last two years, I've been sure to read Dentistry Today and Journal of the American Dental Association regularly. In addition to these medical journals, I also subscribe to DentalEconomics.com. It's important to diversify where your news comes from, and I would love some fresh suggestions. What are your favorite places for news on current trends?"

Talk about how you stay up-to-date on trends in the dental industry, breakthroughs, dentistry-related concerns, and more. List a couple of dental journals or publications you like to read and discuss how often you dive into dental-related news. Perhaps you subscribe to a particular magazine or blog or follow certain social media accounts. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewers about their favorite ways to stay in touch on dental-related current events. Asking this question in return can make for great dialogue, and you never know what you will learn!

I am an ASDA member, so they send me the journal Mouth, which is great because it has different sections written by either dentists, dental students, or pre-dental students. It is awesome to get insight from all different people from different steps in their careers in the dental field. I have read varying articles on how to manage stress in dental school to yoga moves, which help dental students posture.
