Who is a "dentist"?

A dentist is a healthcare professional specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and mouth. Dentists perform routine dental exams, cleanings, and treatments such as fillings, root canals, and tooth extractions to maintain oral health. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene practices and provide guidance on maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Dentists play a crucial role in preventing dental problems and addressing issues at an early stage to prevent complications.
