Dentists
Dentists diagnose, prevent, and treat problems with teeth or mouth tissue. Dentists remove decay, fill cavities, examine x rays, place protective plastic sealants on children’s teeth, straighten teeth, and repair fractured teeth.
Dentists also perform corrective surgery on gums and supporting bones to treat gum diseases.
Dentists extract teeth and make models and measurements for dentures to replace missing teeth. Dentists provide instruction on diet, brushing, flossing, the use of fluorides, and other aspects of dental care.
Dentists also administer anesthetics and write prescriptions for antibiotics and other medications.
