There are lots of things you could learn in case they came up in interviews...but they probably won't. Just know the basics about why you want to be a dnetist and how a dentist's life differs from a MD.

Maybe you should know the difference between a duck and a dental chair. That could come up too.

That seems pretty odd. Why would they expect you to know about dentists' compensation?

I just had a pre-professional committee meeting with 3 bio professors and one non-science professor for a composite recommendation. One of the professors asked me how dentists get compensated versus doctors through insurance. I had no idea. Dentists do have a much higher compensation rate than doctors. He told me that I should know that incase it came up in an interview.

Anything else?

I wouldn't worry about stuff like that.
