Dentist, a medical professional who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity, is often referred to as a doctor. The term "doctor" is generally used to address individuals who have earned a doctorate degree, which is the highest academic degree awarded in many fields, including dentistry.
Dentistry is a branch of medicine that focuses on the health of the teeth, gums, and mouth. Dentists provide a wide range of services, including preventive care, such as cleanings and checkups; restorative care, such as fillings and crowns; and cosmetic care, such as teeth whitening and veneers. They also perform oral surgery, such as tooth extractions and implants.
