Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about a time you found something during an exam that the patient didn't expect.

What they are checking: How they share findings with the doctor and patient clearly and calmly.

This is a part-time Monday shift. How does that fit your schedule, and how reliable can you be week to week?

What they are checking: Reliability, since a one-day position leaves the office uncovered if you miss it.

What continuing education have you taken recently, and what would you like to learn next?

What they are checking: Whether they keep their skills current and would use the CE offered.

What would you do

With five to seven patients on a Monday, how would you use the extra time with each one?

What they are checking: Whether they would spend the time on thorough assessment and education instead of just a faster cleaning.

A patient says they only want a cleaning and no X-rays. How do you respond?

What they are checking: Respecting the patient's choice while explaining why the care matters.

How do you talk with a patient about gum disease without making them feel judged?

What they are checking: Patient education that leads to action, not embarrassment.

How do you feel about an incentive plan tied to patient care, and how do you keep it from feeling like sales?

What they are checking: Integrity in recommending only care the patient truly needs.

About the work

Walk me through your periodontal assessment for a new adult patient.

What they are checking: Clinical depth in charting, staging and grading periodontal disease.

How do you decide when to recommend scaling and root planing instead of a regular cleaning?

What they are checking: Evidence-based recommendations based on clinical indicators, which the posting emphasizes.

You'll work as a clinical partner to the doctor. How do you hand off your findings during the exam?

What they are checking: Collaboration that helps the doctor diagnose and builds patient trust.

What infection control steps do you never skip between patients?

What they are checking: Whether their infection control habits hold up every time, since one skipped step can harm patients and staff.
