Dentist Treat Children

Examine patients' medical records, prepare patients for treatment, and check teeth, gums, and other parts of the mouth along with X-rays and tests to diagnose dental problems. Clean teeth and remove plaque, identify tooth decay, and replace cavities with fillings. Apply teeth-whitening treatments, conduct tooth extractions and root canal procedures, perform surgeries on diseased tissues and bones, and prescribe medication as needed. Educate patients on proper brushing techniques, flossing, and fluoride use while promoting good oral health and preventive dental care through regular check-ups. Requires a DDS or DMD degree with in-depth understanding of dental hygiene and experience with dental equipment.
