A dentist is a healthcare professional specialized in the care of teeth, gums, and mouth structures.
They perform preventive checkups, cavity treatment, cleanings, and, depending on their training, some more specialized procedures.
The dentist examines your mouth, teeth, and gums, and may take X-rays if needed.
They'll explain any problem they find and your treatment options, starting with the most conservative approach when possible.
If your case needs a specialist (for example, oral surgery or orthodontics), they'll refer you to the right one.
