Dental Doctor

Before talking about a Dental doctor, Let`s have a look at what is Dentistry?

DENTISTRY is a branch of medicine that deals specifically and exclusively with the Oral Cavity including oral mucosa, teeth, and gums in general. 

A Dentist or a Dental Doctor is the one who gets a degree in diagnosing diseases and treating oral problems of the mouth (Oral Cavity) and creates a treatment plan to promote oral health. A healthy mouth, teeth, and gums are very important as it affects the general health of the body. Bad oral hygiene causes rapidly spreading dental infections, oral cancers, and untreated oral diseases that may spread from the mouth to other parts of the body like the heart, upper respiratory tract, nose, sinus, stomach, and even the brain and can be life-threatening. Regular dental examinations by a Dental Doctor and good oral hygiene may prevent complications in the future.

Generally speaking, a Dental doctor is the one dealing with MOUTH Cavity.

 General Dentist is a dental doctor who provides regular cleaning or regular examination of the oral cavity. Dental problems are of two types, simple and complicated. The general dentist only deals with simple issues like scaling and polishing, fillings, simple extractions, crowns, etc. Complicated dental procedures like crooked teeth, smile make-over, wisdom tooth extraction, dental veneers, etc. come under the domain of dental specialists.
