Dentistry and Its Importance

Dentistry is the process of treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of disorders, conditions, and diseases of the gums, mouth, jaw and most importantly teeth. Dentistry can have an impact on the health of your entire body often considered necessary for complete oral health.

Who is A Dentist?

A specialist who diagnoses, treats, and prevents oral health problems is a dentist. A dentist in Mexico has to complete at least eight years of schooling, and then receive either a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree or a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree. If the doctor specializes in caring for children from infancy through their teen years then he or she is a paediatric dentist. A paediatric dentist usually possesses the required training and education to work with young kids.

Some other specializations include:

· Endodontics (root canals)

· Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics

· Oral and maxillofacial includes pathology, and surgery

· Prosthodontics or implants

· Gum disease or Periodontics

Visiting the Dentist is very Important

A regular scheduled visit to a dentist apart from helping to maintain your teeth and mouth healthy will also help keep the rest of your body healthy. Dental care is important since it:

• Helps in prevention of tooth decay.
• Offers protection against periodontal (gum) disease, which may lead to tooth and bone loss.
• Bad bacteria cause bad breath. Brushing, flossing and going to the dentist in proper frequency will help reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth that causes bad breath.
• Helps in keeping the teeth looking bright by preventing getting stained by drinks, food and tobacco.
• If you own a white clean set of teeth it gives you a more attractive smile and increases your self-confidence.
• Aids to strengthen your teeth so that you can enjoy beautiful, healthy smiles for the rest of your life.

Do you still need to see a Dentist if your teeth feels fine?

It’s still important to see the dentist regularly because problems can exist without you knowing even though your teeth may feel fine. The appearance of your smile is important, and your dentist in Mexico can help keep your smile looking beautiful and healthy. There is no longer any need to settle for chipped, missing, stained or misshapen teeth with such huge progress in dentistry. Many treatment choices are offered by today’s dentists so you may smile with confidence, such as professional level teeth whitening and full smile makeovers with tooth replacement.
