Clinic owners reading a dentist’s skills section want to separate procedures you do independently from those you assist in. Endodontics, extractions, crown preparation and paediatric management carry most weight, followed by imaging and digital tools such as RVG, CBCT and intraoral scanners. Sterilisation and record-keeping skills matter more as inspections and patient awareness grow.
Exodontia and minor oral surgery
Dental treatment and patient handling are too broad to judge. The bullet proves exodontia skill with an honest approximate volume, the difficulty of cases handled and a follow-up routine showing responsible aftercare.
The hard skills employers screen for first.

Written by the DigitalCVMaker team for dentists applying in India. Every example is original — none is copied from a real person’s profile — and each is built around what employers and clients in this field look for: the role, a specialism, and proof you can back up. We revise the page when that changes; the date at the top shows the last update.
Only list skills you can back up with an example in your experience section or at interview.
No. Brands change, and clinic owners care about technique rather than product loyalty. Mention material categories such as bulk-fill composites or bioceramic sealers where they show current practice, and keep specific brands for the interview discussion if someone asks.
List procedures with honest numbers and your role, performed or assisted, and mention the dissertation topic briefly. Hiring panels at dental colleges and hospitals value a clear log of cases, so keep your PG logbook ready to share if they request evidence.
