What do dentists do?
Dentists diagnose and treat problems with patients’ teeth, gums, and related parts of the mouth. They provide advice and instruction on taking care of the teeth and gums and on diet choices that affect oral health.
Dentists can specialise in different areas including general dentistry, oral surgery, periodontics, maxillofacial surgery, sedation dentistry or special care dentistry. Dentists use x-rays to detect and plan treatment. Primarily dentists aim to prevent oral disorders by providing preventative treatments such as scaling, cleaning and fluoride therapy. They also practice preventative dentistry through the treatment of diseases of the roots, gums and soft tissue of the mouth.
When preventative treatments fail or a person suffers an oral trauma, dentists are responsible for repairing teeth. When teeth are damaged through decay or trauma a dentist may be required to rebuild the tooth structures. This process may require the provision of crowns and bridges for either functional or aesthetic reasons. As well as repairing teeth, dentists may need to extract teeth that do not respond to treatment. When more than a few teeth need to be extracted the dentist can design and have made replacement dentures that are both aesthetic and functional.
