What does a dentist do?
Dentists are health professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions of the teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw. They provide a range of services, such as preventive care, fillings, crowns, implants, extractions, root canals, orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry. Dentists also work with other physicians to manage oral health problems that are related to systemic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, or cancer.
