Embarking on the journey to becoming a dental hygienist begins with successfully navigating the interview process. These interviews often require thoughtful preparation and strong communication skills.

Many applicants face similar questions during their interviews. Being prepared for these can significantly impact your confidence and performance.

• Why do you want to be a dental hygienist?
• How do you handle stress?
• Describe an ethical dilemma you've encountered.
• You have good grades; why don't you go to dental school instead?

To present oneself effectively during the interview, emphasize your genuine interest in dental hygiene and your commitment to the profession.

When discussing stress handling, provide practical examples demonstrating your resilience and proactive problem-solving abilities.

If questioned about your academic potential towards dental school, focus on your specific passion and dedication to dental hygiene as a chosen career path, illustrating the unique fulfillment it provides you.

"Aiming for where your passion lies, rather than just opportunity, will lead to greater satisfaction," shared an experienced dental hygienist.
