Dental specialties FAQ
What are the different types of dental specialties?
Dental specialties include orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics, pediatric dentistry and oral pathology. Each specialty focuses on a specific aspect of dental care and treatment.
What is endodontics?
Endodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating dental pulp and root canal-related issues. Endodontists are highly trained in diagnosing complex dental diseases. Endodontists perform root canal therapy, which involves removing infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals and sealing them to prevent further infection. They also handle procedures such as root canal retreatment, endodontic surgery and treating dental trauma affecting the tooth's inner tissues. Endodontic treatment aims to save natural teeth and alleviate pain, helping patients maintain oral health and preserve smiles.
What is oral and maxillofacial surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a dental specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating complex conditions, injuries, and diseases of the mouth, jaws, face and neck. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons perform a wide range of surgical procedures, including wisdom teeth extraction, corrective jaw surgery, dental implant placement and treatment of facial trauma. They also handle cases involving oral cancers, cysts and congenital deformities, providing comprehensive surgical care to improve function and appearance.
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty dedicated to diagnosing, preventing and treating dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontic treatments include correcting misaligned teeth and improper bites using devices like braces, clear aligners and retainers. This specialty focuses on improving the alignment of teeth and jaws to enhance the appearance and functionality of a patient's smile. Orthodontic treatment can significantly improve oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of future dental issues.
