Question 7

Who is a dentist?

Accepted Answer

Dentists are medical professionals who help us take care of our teeth and mouth. It is essential to take care of our dental health, and dentists help us achieve that. They are responsible for promoting good dental hygiene and preventing any complications in our mouth or teeth. They also diagnose and treat gums, teeth, and mouth problems. They carry out dental procedures such as filling cavities, removing buildup or decay from teeth, repairing and removing any damaged teeth, checking the growth of teeth and jawbones, and performing Root Canal Treatments (RCTs) to save a tooth from rotting. They do all these procedures with utmost care, by wearing protective gear such as gloves, masks, safety glasses, and head masks to prevent any spread of germs or bacteria.

Question 8

When should you visit a dentist?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, a person should visit a dentist every 6 months to keep track of his/her oral hygiene. People should get their dental checkups done during these visits. Other than this, if you experience any pain or discomfort in your teeth, mouth, jaws, and/or gums, you should consult a dentist. Pain or swelling in the neck, face or mouth are signs of an infection or bigger problem with your teeth or mouth, and these are the signs you should look out for. Also, bleeding gums or problems in chewing and swallowing food are other signs.

Question 9

How should you prepare for a visit to a dentist?

Accepted Answer

Before visiting a dentist, make sure that you brush your teeth and floss them so that no food remains are present in your mouth, gums or teeth. List the medications that you presently take for any other medical condition so that if the dentist gives you any antibiotics, he/she can keep this in mind. Other than this, you should also keep track of any dental problems that you might have experienced earlier.

Question 10

Are there any specializations in dentistry?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are different branches of dentistry in which a dentist may specialize. Some are:

Endodontics – deals with treating the internal tissue or ‘pulp’ of the teeth, which is mostly made up of nerves and blood vessels. An endodontist performs RCTs and other procedures involving the inner tooth.
Orthodontics – deals with the alignment and straightening of the teeth and jaw. An orthodontist may fit braces to align your teeth. He/she also deals with issues involving bones in and around the mouth area.
Periodontics – a periodontist deals with gum diseases.
