Dentist

A dentist is a healthcare professional specializing in oral health, focusing on teeth, gums, and the mouth. They diagnose and treat dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, and oral infections. Dentists perform various procedures, including cleanings, fillings, root canals, and extractions. They also educate patients on proper dental hygiene practices to prevent problems. Most dentists work in private practices, but some may practice in hospitals or clinics. Regular dental visits are important for maintaining good oral health and preventing serious issues.
