"I would come to your dental school confident in my knowledge and skills, but I also know that I will be tackling some things that will be very new to me. When faced with this situation, I wouldn't hesitate to ask a senior student or faculty member for guidance. My goal is to leave dental school with the skills necessary to be a confident and competent dentist, and I greatly look forward to these learning opportunities with your program."

This is not the time to say that you would jump in with both feet and potentially risk the safety and wellbeing of a patient. Your interviewers are not looking for someone who just jumps when someone says jump but someone willing to jump with confidence and competence. Your job is to provide an answer that illustrates this difference. In your answer, talk about your willingness to ask for help and learn in the process as a dental student entering their program.
