About the role
This dental surgeon interview combines clinical cases with questions about procedure safety and patient communication. The panel wants sound diagnosis, proportionate treatment plans, reliable infection controls and clear limits on what you would manage without referral.
How to prepare
- Revise structured assessment of pain, swelling, trauma and common oral lesions.
- Practise explaining treatment choices, material risks and aftercare in plain language.
- Review decontamination, sharps safety and what to do after a process failure.
- Prepare an example of a difficult procedure or complication you managed safely.
- Check the official professional body for current registration requirements and professional standards relevant to the post.
Common mistakes
- Jumping to extraction before giving a differential diagnosis and treatment options.
- Describing technical skill without consent, pain control or aftercare.
- Treating infection prevention as a checklist rather than a complete workflow.
- Continuing beyond your competence instead of explaining referral thresholds.
