"One tool that I'm familiar with that we frequently use in procedures is the extracting forceps. These are used to dig or pull out teeth during a procedure. Another is the ultrasonic scaler, which is an instrument used to remove tartar or calculus from the tooth. Lastly, a saliva ejector is frequently used to eliminate excess saliva or water from the mouth and oral cavity during dental procedures. I'm familiar with many tools and also how to sanitize and sterilize them to prevent the spread of infectious diseases."

This question allows the interviewer to assess your knowledge base of dental instruments and their uses. Since many of the dental nurse roles require you to use specific instruments and tools in patient care and treatments, as well as to be able to manage the sanitization and disinfection of those instruments, it's critical to demonstrate your knowledge in your response. Provide three examples of dental instruments or tools that you're familiar with and frequently handle, as well as a brief description of the function and use of each.
