Dentistry is the branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity, commonly referred to as the mouth. Dentistry is concerned with the health and well-being of the teeth, gums, and other tissues in the mouth.
The main branches of dentistry include:
- Orthodontics (straightening teeth and aligning jaws)
- Pediatric Dentistry (children's oral health)
- Prosthodontics (restoring teeth with crowns, bridges, and dentures)
- Periodontics (gum disease treatment)
- Endodontics (root canal therapy)
- Oral Surgery (surgical procedures in the mouth)
- Dental Public Health (community oral health)
- Restorative Dentistry (fillings, crowns, and bridges)
- Cosmetic Dentistry (aesthetic improvements)
- Oral Pathology (diagnosis of oral diseases)
- Dental Implantology (implant placement and restoration)
These branches often overlap, and dentists may specialize in multiple areas. Additionally, new specialties and subspecialties are emerging as dentistry continues to evolve.
