Dentistry is the branch of medical science that focuses on the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity and surrounding structures. It plays a vital role in maintaining overall health, as oral health is closely connected to general well-being.
Dental care involves a wide range of services, including preventive care (such as cleanings and check-ups), restorative procedures (like fillings, crowns, and implants), cosmetic treatments (such as whitening and veneers), and specialized care (including orthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery).
Dentists and dental specialists work to ensure healthy teeth, gums, and jaws, while also helping patients achieve confident and beautiful smiles. Regular dental visits are essential for early detection of oral health issues and for maintaining long-term dental hygiene.
