About the programme

A dentistry degree admission interview explores whether you understand dentistry as both healthcare and precise practical work. The panel looks for informed motivation, sensitive patient communication, ethical awareness and evidence that you can learn detailed science and clinical skills.

How to prepare

  1. Review what dentists do across prevention, diagnosis, treatment and long-term oral health.
  2. Reflect on any observation, service or practical experience that informed your interest.
  3. Practise discussing consent, confidentiality and anxious patients in plain language.
  4. Choose examples of precise practical work and explain how you checked quality.
  5. Prepare to discuss an oral health topic that genuinely interests you.

Common mistakes

  • Talking mainly about status or income instead of patient care and oral health.
  • Claiming that observation alone taught you how to perform clinical procedures.
  • Treating manual skill as more important than consent and communication.
  • Giving moral judgements about patients whose oral health is poor.
