Who is a dentist?


Dentists are specialised professionals who help detect, treat, and prevent oral or dental health issues. Visiting a dentist can help maintain good dental health and oral hygiene that directly impacts your overall well-being. 

Some of the areas that dentists specialise in include:

  • Root canal treatment or endodontics.
  • Periodontitis for gum diseases.
  • Oral and maxillofacial surgeries.
  • Prosthodontics Orthodontics (braces).

Reasons to see a dentist

There are numerous reasons why one should consult a dentist. Dental checkups at regular intervals are imperative. Some of the reasons include:

  • Preventive care: dentists evaluate symptoms of mouth cancer, dental decay, or gum issues. Regular evaluation of these factors can help prevent severe problems. Your dentist can clean your teeth to remove tartar buildup and plaque that may eventually cause tooth decay and gum diseases. A dentist might also suggest some tips in order to take better care of your teeth at home.
  • Discomfort or pain: if you have discomfort or pain in your teeth, jaws, mouth, or gums, you should consult a dentist. Don’t neglect the symptoms such as pain or swelling in the neck, mouth or face. If you notice bleeding of the gums or have trouble swallowing or chewing, you should opt for a dentist consultation at the earliest.
  • Maintenance and health: if you previously had a dental procedure done, it is important to ensure that everything is as it should be.
  • Cosmetic Care: a dentist consultation can enhance your smile and boost self-confidence. Dentists also carry out several cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening, dental veneering, bonding, implants, and many more.

What is the role of a dentist?

One of the most significant roles and responsibilities of a dentist is promoting great oral hygiene. It helps in preventing complications in the mouth.

Some common dentistry tasks include:

  • Explaining proper dental hygiene techniques to people.
  • Removal of decaying tissue from teeth.
  • Extraction of damaged teeth.
  • Putting sealants or fillings.
  • Evaluation of the growth of the jawbones and teeth.
