Interview questions worth rehearsing
With the thing the interviewer is actually listening for
How do you handle a patient who is anxious or afraid of cleanings?
Describe pacing, explaining each step before you do it, and offering breaks. A short story about winning over a fearful patient works well.
Walk me through your periodontal assessment and how you present findings.
Show a full charting routine and how you explain pocket depths in plain terms, framing scaling and root planing as treatment, not upselling.
How do you stay on schedule with back-to-back patients?
Mention room setup habits, realistic appointment blocks by patient type, and communicating early with the front desk when a case runs long.
What is your approach to patients who have not flossed and know the lecture is coming?
Show that you skip the lecture: meet them without judgment, find one habit they will actually do, and track small wins visit to visit.
How do you work with a dentist whose treatment philosophy differs from yours?
Emphasize discussing cases privately, presenting evidence, and staying aligned in front of patients. Practices screen hard for team fit.
Are you licensed to administer local anesthesia, and what is your radiography experience?
Answer plainly with your state licensure details and the imaging systems you have used. These determine what the office can schedule for you.
05

03
List clinical systems: Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental, and digital imaging like intraoral cameras or CBCT exposure.
04
Show prevention impact, for example perio program acceptance rates or fluoride and sealant program participation.
05
Keep CE current and visible, especially laser certification or advanced periodontal instrumentation.
