1. When you suffer a setback, how does that emotionally affect you and your work?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Everyone handles the stress and disappointment of setbacks differently, and a few are sure to come your way during the next four years of attending dental school. Your interviewers ask this question in hopes that you would come to their program with the ability to put your head down and get to work harder when you face a setback or challenging time during your time with them.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
How to Answer
Discuss with the interviewers how you typically cope with setbacks in your work. That can include both your classwork and your on-the-job work throughout your past. If you give an example, highlight how you powered through the situation with a positive attitude and came out stronger and better in the end. Reiterate to your interviewers that you are ready to tackle any challenge that will come your way during your time in their dentistry program.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
Answer Example
"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing and can be very disheartening, especially when involving a project that I have put a lot of time and effort into. I understand that setbacks happen often, and to everyone - despite their level of expertise or years of experience. If I experience a major setback, I will take a few moments to internally debrief, get some fresh air if possible, or discuss what I could have done differently with a mentor. Then, I move on. Rather than dwell on my mistakes, I choose to learn from them."

2. How do you respond to feedback and criticism? Describe a situation where your work was criticized. What was your immediate reaction to the situation?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
During your four years of dental school, your classwork and clinical rotations will be highly scrutinized. The faculty and mentors at this program won't hesitate to give you constructive criticism on your work. Your interviewers need to know that you can take this feedback constructively and productively.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
How to Answer
Not all feedback will be delivered in a friendly, easy-to-absorb manner as a dental student. Think of a time you received feedback or criticism that was a bit hurtful or surprising. Discuss how you reacted productively. Stress that you were able to take the criticism and learn from it moving forward. Talk about how you successfully implemented change.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
Answer Example
"Last year, I received a low grade on a chemistry project. When I approached my professor about the low grade, he said, 'You can do better. I expected more from you.' I was taken aback at first, but once I had time to absorb what was said, I realized that he expected more from me because he had high expectations of what I was capable of doing. It was a compliment and a challenge rolled into one! I re-did the assignment with more passion the second time around. My grade improved significantly, and I thanked that professor for holding me to a higher standard."

Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The dental school you are interviewing with ideally wants to bring high achievers into their program.

Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022

4. How would you rate your ability to adapt to changing conditions and environments?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Overall, the dental industry is experiencing more rapid changes today than it has over the past 100 years. Your interviewing team has also likely witnessed many incoming dental students to their program struggle with the major life change of jumping to a challenging and in-depth dentistry program. Your ability to handle and adapt to change with ease will be vital as a dental student, and your interviewers want to know that you can embrace change and see it as an opportunity for overall improvement.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
How to Answer
Pick an example of a time you faced a change, either in your schooling or the workplace, and responded constructively. Explain how the change impacted you and tell the interviewers how you maintained a positive approach during the transition. No matter what example you use, reiterate that you fully understand that your future success as a dental student and practicing dentist will be reliant on your ability to change with the times to provide the best care possible to your patients.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
Answer Example
"With technology constantly improving and changes to regulations always shifting, I know I will have to be open and willing to adapt my work as a dentist. I consider myself a very adaptable person to any environment and tend to look for the positive reasons for why change is happening and run with it. Throughout my later high school years and undergraduate program, I worked for a grocery chain in several different roles. Two years ago, the chain was bought by a regional chain, and with that buy-out came a lot of changes to the work. The biggest change for most of the staff was a new point of sale system, for good reason. The current system was a major part of our workday. Looking back, my ability to handle this change came down to a simple positive attitude and willingness to learn and master the new system. I saw too many colleagues have a poor attitude about the whole situation, and my manager commended me for my positivity."

5. Talk about a time you had to work closely with someone who had a problematic personality.
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
During your time in dental school training, you will work closely with some faculty who can be difficult at times and potentially with fellow students with conflicting personalities. The interviewers want to know how well you work with others, despite having different personalities. Your ability to adapt to various people as a dental student, regardless of a positive personality match, shows that you are mature and professional even when the situation is not ideal.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
How to Answer
As you answer, avoid extreme responses that include speaking negatively of others or naming people. Also, avoid telling the interviewer that you get along with everyone all the time. Most interviewers will interpret a cliche response like that as dodging the question. Focus on a time your work style was different from another person's, but perhaps you still had to complete a project together. Discuss, in a positive tone, how you made it work and how you will bring this same approach as a student in this program.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
Answer Example
"During my undergraduate program, I worked on a four-person project during my junior year in an Applied Human Psychology course. One member of our team had a very dominant, type-A personality, and they were difficult to work with effectively at first because this is not my type of personality. To work effectively with them, I made sure that all communication was direct and to the point, with little small talk or extra fluff. I also changed my work style a bit to always ensure that I was proving my productivity on the task at hand with them. I learned a lot from this experience that I can bring to dental school to ensure my success in working closely with any personality."

Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
As a dental student, you will work closely with fellow student colleagues in the program you are interviewing with. The interviewers would like to know that you lead by example when it comes to communication in the educational setting and that you will come to their program ready to be an open communicator with all of your colleagues.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
How to Answer
Before your dental school interviews, Think about the specific communications skills you possess that make you a great communicator. Looking back throughout your time in high school and college can give insight into how you effectively communicated with teammates you worked with on various projects. Come to your dental school interview prepared to discuss what makes you a great communicator.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
Answer Example
"First and foremost, I show my classmates the importance of communication through my willingness to ask questions if I do not understand the first time. I do not pretend to know something to save face. I am also very respectful in my communications with others and always try to put myself in the shoes of the person I am working with to understand how they want to be treated. I have found that this approach makes others gravitate towards working with me, and I think it will help me as a student with your program."

10. What questions do you have for us about our dental school program and university?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
You must come to your interview prepared with questions for the interviewers on the dental school program you are interviewing with and the university itself.

Having insightful questions prepared sets the stage for the interviewers to tell you many important and helpful details about their process and educational facility.

20. Do you feel that your manual dexterity skills are suitable for a career in dentistry?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
One skill that is vital to the success of any dentist that is very hard for your interviewers to measure during the interview process is manual dexterity. Dentistry involves precise movements and coordination in a very small workspace inside a person's mouth. Since your interviewers can't assess this during the interview process, they may ask a question like this to hear you talk about your dexterity skills and that you understand they are important for a future dentist.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
How to Answer
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.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
Answer Example
"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."

21. Are you aware of cases of medical malpractice in the dentistry field? How will you cope if you are faced with one of these situations?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
While dental malpractice claims are pretty rare in the grand scope of overall medical malpractice claims, your interviewers want to know that you are aware of the type of claims that could potentially happen down the road for you. They'll ideally be looking to hear that you will always be detailed in your work to try and avoid any patient mistakes in practice.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
How to Answer
Before your dental school interviews, it will be important to research the types of malpractice claims that are common for practicing dentists and come to your interview prepared to talk about them. Describe how you would take all preventative measures to ensure that every patient you work with is cared for with a safe and empathetic approach.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
Answer Example
"Yes, I am aware of malpractice cases in dentistry, and it can be disheartening to hear sometimes. Although I would always be diligent in my work, there are no guarantees, and mistakes happen. If I faced a situation like that, I would take full responsibility for my part in the situation, but I would also defend my expertise and decision-making skills.

25. What advice would you give to a fellow dental school colleague who was stressed out?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
Being able to handle stress during dental school is a vital skill. Given the fact that you'll be working closely with your classmates during dental school, being able to talk your colleagues off the ledge during their peak times of stress is an entirely different skill that your interviewers will be looking to gauge during your time with them.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
How to Answer
Discuss with the interviewer what you would say or do to help a student colleague cope with stress. As you are aware, dental school is a whole other world compared to undergraduate work with the highly involved classroom work and intense clinical work. Knowing that your interviewers want great team players to join their program, talk about how you will be the best teammate possible to your fellow student colleagues, no matter what situation you find yourselves in.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022
Answer Example
"If I had a student colleague who was stressed out, I would recommend that they look at the factors that regularly stress them out and create some boundaries surrounding those stressors. Perhaps they are being continually interrupted, resulting in missed deadlines. These distractions need boundaries, and I would start there. I also wouldn't hesitate to be a sounding board for them to release some tension. Sometimes that can make the biggest difference for a stressed person."

Your venture into dental school will likely require you to work with many pieces of equipment you haven't worked with in the past.
Written by Ryan Brunner on August 23rd, 2022

Answer Example
"Yes, I consider myself very technically literate when it comes to new computer programs, equipment, and dental tools. Today's dentists need to embrace technology to provide the best patient care possible. I've always been enamored by the great technological advancements in dentistry over the years. More recent innovations, like 3D printing for dental implants, are great technology. I am very technologically adept. Over the last two years, I worked part-time with a medical device manufacturing company to pay my way through schooling, and during my first week on the job, I had to learn and master two plastics machines. I observed more experienced staff and went right to work with hands-on learning."
