Dentist

Dentists are healthcare professionals specialized in the care of teeth and oral health. They address a range of dental and gum issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral infections. Dentists perform procedures including teeth cleaning, filling cavities, tooth extractions, and placing crowns or veneers. They also handle orthodontic issues like braces to correct misaligned teeth and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders that cause jaw pain. Additionally, dentists provide preventive care to avoid future dental problems, including education on proper brushing techniques and flossing. They can also treat more complex conditions such as periodontal disease and oral cancer. Dentists work to ensure optimal oral health and enhance patients' quality of life through various types of treatment.
