A dentist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats oral health issues. The most basic services dentists provide are preventative and regular maintenance treatments, such as, cleanings, fluoride treatments, X-rays (to look for cavities), cavity fillings and advice on proper brushing, flossing, and rinsing for the prevention of plaque buildup.
Dental specialists include:
- Endodontists specialize in treating diseases of the tooth pulp and root
- Oral pathologists identify and treat diseases of the oral and maxillofacial regions (oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaws)
- Oral radiologists use radiological imaging, like x-rays, MRI, and ultrasound, in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the structures of the oral and maxillofacial regions
- Orthodontists prevent and correct improper bites as a result of irregularly positioned teeth and/or disproportionate jaw relationships, often through the use of braces and retainers
- Pediatric dentists specialize in the oral health of adolescent patients
- Periodontists diagnose and treat diseases of the gums, like gingivitis and periodontitis
- Prosthodontists restore deficient teeth and replace missing teeth through the use of prosthetic replacements, like dentures, crowns, and veneers
- Family dentists specialize in the treatment of oral health issues of entire families, caring for patients of all ages
