  • Conducts patient examinations, obtains radiographic images, identifies oral pathology, develops treatment strategies, provides preventive counseling
  • Manages dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth deterioration, oral infections, and alignment issues
  • Provides prophylactic care, restorative procedures, prosthetic devices, endodontic therapy, extractions, and aesthetic treatments
  • Known as: general dentist, DDS, DMD, oral health provider
