There are a LOT of questions about your letter! it is an open file interview! If you wrote a lot of bullshit in that letter, prepare a lot of stories to back it up or else you will look stupid.
why dentisty? why mcgill? have you applied into anything else? (DON'T SAY MEDICINE, if you say something like low or physics is usually a good thing since it shows that you have many intrests)

What was the most interesting question?

suppose you are a dentist and a pacient comes to you and you realise that the previous dentist has done a bad job. what would you do?

What are your general comments?

When you go there just remember that only 40 people get called for the interview so unless you really say something incedibly stupid you have great chances of getting in. Relax the importance of the interview is often exagerated, if you have good grades you will get in. Don't try to impress them, you will just look stupid. The questions are preety basic, if you read some coments on this website you will have no problem answering them. Don't look like you have memorized all the answers though, it is better to hesitate a bit. Prepare some questions for the interviewers- it really helps. Usually 2 of the 3 interviewers are students, so they know a phony when they see one- don't exagerate your desire to get into dentistry- be natural.
