Endodontics

The specialty of endodontics investigates the intricate regions of the tooth pulp and internal tissue. Endodontists are specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases including pulp inflammation, infections inside the root canal, and severe tooth damage. Endodontists seek to minimise patient discomfort while maintaining teeth’s natural structure through the use of cutting-edge methods and tools.

Orthodontics

The goal of orthodontics is to enhance the alignment and function of the teeth and jaws by correcting abnormalities in these structures. In order to straighten misaligned teeth, address bite issues, and improve the appearance of the face, orthodontists employ a range of tools, including braces, aligners, and retainers. Orthodontists assist patients in achieving harmonious smiles and the best possible dental health through thorough treatment planning and personalised care.

Periodontics

The field of periodontics is devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions that impact the gums and the structure of teeth. Periodontists are experts in using both non-surgical and surgical methods to treat diseases like gingivitis, periodontitis, and gum recession. Periodontists contribute significantly to the preservation of periodontal tissues and the health of the gums by stimulating these processes.

Prosthodontics

In order to restore function, aesthetics, and comfort, prosthodontics focuses on restoring and replacing lost teeth and oral structures. To enhance smile and oral function, prosthodontists utilise dental prostheses such crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Prosthodontists strive to develop long-lasting, realistic dental restorations that improve patients’ quality of life via painstaking attention to detail and artistry.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons treat complex oral and face problems with a holistic approach, having received specialised training in both medicine and dentistry.

Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics

In order to maintain the natural structure and function of teeth, conservative dentistry and endodontics specialists combine conservative dental care with endodontic operations. In order to restore damaged teeth and stop additional decay, conservative dentists emphasise minimally intrusive procedures including dental fillings, dental bonding, and dental sealants. Conservative dentists combine endodontic procedures, like root canal therapy, in an effort to maintain

Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry

The field of paediatric dentistry, or pedodontics, is devoted to treating children’s teeth from birth through adolescence.

Pedodontists are crucial in establishing lifelong oral health by promoting appropriate dental care and developing good oral hygiene habits.

Dentistry in Public Health
