Learning to be a talented dental technician requires an average learning ability in some areas and an advanced learning ability in other areas. A major requirement is that you have an above average creative ability with your hands and are able to be visually artistic. 90% of the work a dental technicina does is artistically create one of a kind dental appliances with their hands. Only 10 to 15% of the work is mechanically done. While some dental laboratories provide on the job training, there are some very fine schools you can go to. Few dental technicians these day's can perform all the specialities required to be a master technician. If you want to achieve that status be prepared to spend five to eight years gaining the expertise and knowledge required. You can of course become a general technician in a shorter time.

These include: Red, Blue, Black, Grey, Brown, and White. [main] and don't include: Purple, Green, Orange, or Yellow. Be sure to NOT SAY 'UM' or 'UH' etc... because it makes you sound like a kid, and keep your chin parallel to the floor. I don't know what you will be asked, but I do know that appearance is about 60% of it all. Wear some power colors, it really affects it and shows that you aren’t afraid or ’shy’ to the matter.
