All about Dentist
Dentists look after teeth and gums. They clean teeth, check for cavities and gum disease, fill holes, take X-rays and perform treatments such as extractions. Dentists also teach patients how to brush and floss well.
Dentistry requires precision and a steady hand, as well as good communication, since many people feel nervous about dental visits. Dental hygienists often work alongside dentists, focusing on cleaning and prevention.
Dentists work in clinics and often spend time reassuring nervous patients.
A good dentist is gentle, skilled and clear in their explanations. Regular dental check-ups help find problems early.
