What Does A Dentist Do?

Dentists are part and parcel of the medical and health care industry that delivers whole and complete treatment to the ailing patient. Unlike the trend that isolates dentistry from conventional medicine, it is fundamental and a segment of medicine itself. Dentists deal with the diagnosis, treatment of disease and care of the oral cavity. Dentistry doesn't isolate itself to the teeth alone, but also deals with the mouth as a whole, including gums, tongue and the deeper aspects of the oral mucosa.
Due to the increased prevalence and occurrence of poor dental hygiene and its potential public health hazard, dentists have the responsibility of maintenance and care of the society's health too. 

The most common ailments tackled by dentists include cavities, inflamed gums and cosmetic corrections like placement and adjustment of braces. The dental community also forms a part of mainstream medical care through specializations like oral surgery and general dentistry.Most medical professionals have their own work spaces, where the art of their specialty is best reflected. In this hustle, many a times the professionalism overtakes the thoughts of the patient. Under such times, the dental clinic is a ray of sunshine. Decorated with lovely d'cor and wall paints dental clinics instantly put their patients at ease. 

The staff that serve in the dental clinic vary from the doctors themselves to the technicians that help with the making and setting of dental implants, nurses that aid the doctor should there be a complex procedure, and the hygienists that tip outgoing patients with tailored advice on oral hygiene, care and maintenance. Most dental clinics are family run, enabling easier access and familiarity in society. This also enables the clinic to aid in curbing the growing menace that is poor oral hygiene. In times like these, dental clinics can go the extra mile, and spread awareness regarding the cavity we most often take for granted. By-Amaan
