I am currently a sophomore in high school, and I am very interested in pursuing dental hygiene. But hearing about an interview for getting into a dental hygiene program puts me a little on edge because I am not a very outspoken, “extroverted” person, and I stumble on my words when I’m nervous, so I’m not sure how that would work out if I were to have an interview. 😓 But yet I understand that in hygiene, you have to be social because you are constantly interacting with your patients, but at the same time I’m not sure if hygiene will be right for me, due to my more introverted personality, but I have been very interested in this career ever since I have seen dentists and dental hygienists doing their jobs at my clinic. I just love the environment and oral hygiene in general because it is such an important factor in your overall health. 😊

Hey girl! Don’t let what you think hygienists should be dissuade you from perusing hygiene. (: Not every program requires an interview and even then, they aren’t looking for outgoing, bubbly, extroverts lol. You have some years to practice speaking clearly. I was hella nervous too but remember to take pauses to breathe. It’ll come off like confidence 😃good luck! Hope you stick around on this channel and pursue hygiene girl, you’ll be greattt!! 💜

I never had an interview here in Ontario, Canada. I would also like to add Im a quiet person and Im doing fine (currently a male hygiene student in semester 4). Before my program I actually purposely got a job as a cashier at a super busy grocery store to work on my social skills because I was exactly like you. You can always improve your social skills and they will improve with being in the program in general.

I had met many people that have had experiences being a DA and had a great shot at getting in..However, if you do not have a DA experience, they do not care about the experience, but more of your grades and how you are as a student. They would want to know more on your volunteer work and want to see how confident you are handling patients.
