Dentistry

Dentistry is the branch of Medicine that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the oral cavity, teeth, gums, and jaws. Dentists are specialized healthcare professionals who not only restore oral health but also work to maintain it, contributing significantly to the overall health and well-being of their patients.

Dental studies include:

Core medical and biological sciences, Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology.
Specialized dental courses such as Oral Surgery, Prosthodontics, Endodontics, Periodontology, and Orthodontics.
Clinical practice, where students gain hands-on experience treating real cases under the supervision of experienced professors.

Dentistry is not only concerned with restoring oral health but also with enhancing the aesthetics of the smile through modern techniques such as whitening, porcelain veneers, and orthodontic devices.

A dentist can work as a general practitioner or specialize in specific fields such as oral surgery or aesthetic dentistry. In addition, prevention plays a key role in Dentistry, as regular visits to the dentist help avoid serious future issues.

This specialty is particularly important for overall human health, as many oral conditions can affect other systems in the body, such as the cardiovascular and digestive systems.
