Understand the profession before you write your application.

Dental schools want evidence that you understand what dentistry involves. Work experience is most useful when you can explain what you noticed, what challenged your assumptions and how it shaped your decision to apply.

This free online programme gives you a structured place to start. Use the live sessions and recordings to learn, take reflection notes and identify the skills and values you need to explore further.

Insight into dentistry as a career Examples to reflect on in your UCAS answers Topics to discuss at dental interviews A clearer view of patient communication Awareness of teamwork and professionalism Flexible access through live sessions and recordings What to Look For

Six areas to reflect on during dental work experience.

Do not simply list what you watched. Record what each experience taught you about dentistry and your suitability for the profession.

1

Patient communication

Notice how dental professionals explain procedures, respond to anxiety and help patients make informed decisions.

  • Clear explanations
  • Building trust
  • Listening to concerns
2

Prevention and public health

Consider how prevention, education and long-term behaviour change can protect oral health before treatment is needed.

  • Patient education
  • Health inequalities
  • Preventive care
3

Teamwork

Look at how dentists, dental nurses, hygienists, therapists and reception teams work together around each patient.

  • Defined roles
  • Safe handovers
  • Shared responsibility
4

Professionalism and ethics

Think about consent, confidentiality, patient choice and the balance between clinical need and individual circumstances.

  • Consent
  • Confidentiality
  • Patient autonomy
5

Precision and practical skill

Explore why dentistry demands careful hand skills, close attention to detail and consistent performance in a small working area.

  • Manual dexterity
  • Accuracy
  • Working under pressure
6

Reflection

Ask what surprised you, what you learned and what you will do next. This is more valuable than simply counting hours.

  • What happened
  • What you learned
  • What changes next
Make It Count

Turn each session into useful application evidence.

1

Watch actively

Join live where possible, ask questions and note specific moments rather than broad facts.

2

Write a reflection

Record what you observed, why it mattered and how it changed your understanding of dentistry.

3

Link it to a skill

Connect the example to communication, teamwork, empathy, ethics or precision without forcing the link.

4

Practise explaining it

Say the reflection aloud so you can discuss it naturally if it comes up at interview.
