New forum to help you discuss news topics (for interviews!)

oooh i got asked about both the topics u jst mentioned at my interview..they asked bwt the difference between both types of fillings and the controversy about it (mercury poisoning obv) and about flouridation too, so id do a bit of research if i was u cos i was a bit clueless bwt d whole thing..fluroidtion i think jst refers to the amount of fluoride in the water system..its in ppm and i think u need to b aware of the effects of highly fluroidated water too cos theres a limit/avergae amount water shud contain

[mahmood]

not quite sure hw many ppm that is..im sure u can check the amounts diff cities have tho if u google it.

The optimum fluoride concentration is 1ppm i.e. one part of fluoride to every million parts of water. If you want to find out more on fluoridation i'm sure you'll find the following link of great help: http://www.bda.org/advice/docs/Fluoride-the%20facts.pdf

They didn't shake my hand before or after my interview haha. But yeah, just sit down when they tell you to, and if they introduce you to each member of the interview team smile. Keep smiling... not in a crazy way, just in a friendly way lol. They will understand, if you are nervous or anything they know how it must feel for you. I was literally shaking for the first 5minutes of my interview, but the interviewers were so nice so I calmed down soon. Take a deep breath before you answer, I found that helped. Good luck

Hey guys!!

Since lots of people are getting called for interviews, I thought it may be a good idea to make a topic about any recent developments in dentistry...

NOTE: NOT DENTAL ISSUES, BUT DEVELOPMENTS!!

Check this link out, and you will get what I mean:

If anyone has any info about any advances in technology, I'm sure we'd all be greatful if they could post what they know, along with some references!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE INTERVIEWS BTW!!
