All of us of aware of the beauty of our face and it lie mainly in the
smile we give when we meet others. If the teeth are in bad condition we
won’t be receptive to our guests and relatives when we meet them. The
dentist is the correct person who corrects our problem and becomes responsible
for our teeth. He is well known among the people and each and every body
visits him once in a while just to check the condition of the teeth and
if necessary take treatment.
The dentist explains
to his patients how to keep the teeth clean from plaque and cavities which
are the basic problems in all people. During the visit to the dentist
he examines all the teeth and finds out if there is any filling to be
done for the damaged tooth and the condition of the gums. Usually gum
receding is a major problem for many patients. He explains clearly what
is wrong with them and how to over come the problem.
The dentist
has a dental chair which is more convenient for him to examine the patient
either in the sitting or in the lying down position by simply touching
a button. For some procedure the dentist feels comfortable if the patient
lies down and for some procedures he wants the patient to sit down. This
chair has everything attached to it like X ray machine, suction tube to
suck water from the mouth after washing, water sprayer to spray water
when needed and electric driller and filler to drill the cavity and fill
it with the alloy All these come with the chair and so without moving
the patient or, moving himself he does all the work in one go with the
help of an assistant.
The other instruments he has are ultra sonic devices to polish the teeth,
instruments to pluck the teeth and some medicines and syringes to give
local anesthesia if needed. Root filling is a hard process in filling
.The cavity goes deep inside the root and so it has to be drilled to the
root bottom and some implant is placed inside to strengthen the root and
then the filling is done. Other instruments he possesses are to make artificial
denture and braces to correct the alignment of the teeth.
A dentist needs to study for four years like the doctors and then he can
specialize in one interesting topic as correction of teeth alignment,
child dentist,
filling specialist, orthodontist
who does operation in the jaw bones if it gets fractured due to some accident.
The dentist needs to wear gloves and masks to protect him.
