EPQ Topics : Career or Interest?

Just be aware that no Dentistry course requires an EPQ, or puts any value on it.
Your time / energy would be better spent on getting A grades in 3 x A levels.

I'm aware of that, but if I did my epq about dentistry then would that show that I am genuinely passionate about it and make me stand out?

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to decide on my EPQ topic and could really use some advice. I’m torn between doing it on cosmetic dentistry, which I’m passionate about, or Mount Everest, which I find fascinating.
I’m wondering:

I’m also doing an EPQ but on like diet and tooth decay. I’m not going to prioritise it over A levels and UCATS but I really wanted to do it as well so I would have something to talk about if I ever made it to the interviews and also putting it on my personal statement.

Just remember that you can do this just as an interest - it does not have to be as part of a formal EPQ.

Damn I really wanted to do a formal one because I don’t really know what other extra curriculars to do or what I could even talk about in interviews. I would drop it if it ever got in the way of my studies.

You can talk about anything you like at an interview - you don't have to have written a formal essay about it, just 'I've read' is fine. And most questions/tasks will be about the 'skills' required - manual dexterity, communication skills, observation, NHS Values etc.
Have you done any relevant work experience or do you have any planned?
Have you been to any Open Days and asked what that each Uni wants to see in a Dentistry application?
