Dental

A dentist is a medical professional who specializes in the care of teeth, gums, and mouths. A significant part of a dentist’s job involves educating patients about ways to preserve a healthy mouth. Gum disease, for example, affects more than 87 percent of the U.S. population. Cavities can develop and worsen for a long time. When these go undetected, a patient may require root canal therapy or tooth extraction.

Oral and Maxillofacial surgery is one of the nine specialties of dentistry. These surgeons correct a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.
