What is Dentistry?

Dentistry is the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, particularly the teeth, and to an extent related conditions in the jaws and face that are widely considered important for overall health (Wikipedia).

Dental teams can consist of a dentist such as Dr. Whitefield in Tennessee, dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and dental therapists. Most dentists work from private dentistry practices, and some even work in hospitals and institutions like prisons and less fortunate organizations. All dentists in the United States undergo at least three years of undergraduate studies, with most completing their bachelor’s degree as well. Then another 4 years of dental school follows to qualify as a "Doctor of Dental Surgery" (DDS) or "Doctor of Dental Medicine" (DMD). To be able to do more complex treatments such as sedation, oral, surgery, and dental implants, dentists would need to continue their education and complete additional qualifications.
