Overview

Dentists diagnose and treat diseases of the teeth, mouth and jaw in their practice. They remove caries and tartar, place fillings, perform root canal treatments and extractions and administer local anaesthesia for these. They use X-ray images to diagnose and draw up treatment plans. They insert dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges and dentures and check the fit, and they also place implants. In addition, they advise on oral care and prophylaxis and keep patient records.
