Dentistry involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide
variety of conditions, disorders and diseases affecting the teeth, gums
and maxillofacial (associated with the jaw and face) region of the body.
The professional practitioners of dentistry are commonly referred to as dentists. General dentists provide services related to the general maintenance of oral hygiene and tooth health.
Ideally, dentistry is preventative. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that you visit yourdentist
regularly – at least once every six months – to ensure proper oral
hygiene and functionality. Regular checkups and oral health maintenance
prevent the development of serious dental problems that can require
costly treatment. If you remain vigilant and visit your dentist
regularly, you can enjoy exceptional dental health.
