Dentistry

A dentist is a doctor who specializes in the treatment of diseases in the mouth. A dentist can also provide support and advice on prevention in terms of diseases of the mouth. A dentist can thought of as a dental surgeon. Dentists generally have team who work closely with them for example a dental nurse/assistant. Dentists sometimes have their own field in which they work. It could be that they specialize in cosmetic dentistry or pediatrics.

That said once a dentist is qualified they can carry out most procedures. There will be further training required to carry out things such as administering an anesthetic. Some peoples anxiety’s about visiting the dentist now means they have to have the right personal attributes as well as qualifications. Dental services are widely available on a private basis or on the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. There are big differences between the two services in terms of things like waiting lists and price but for some you cannot put a price on your health.
