The duties and skills of a dentist enable them to educate patients about oral care and encourage healthy habits, but they are also diagnosticians of the mouth. Dental care professionals keep a look out for early signs of decay, disease, and cancer by examining your teeth, gums, and other tissues of the mouth. Most early signs of decay are not visible to the naked eye. In fact, a tooth can be severely decayed and still not show any difference from the front view of the tooth. Cavities form most often on the places that are difficult to reach when brushing, such as in between the teeth and behind the back teeth.

Today treatment can be as easy or as complex as necessary but you will always feel minimal discomfort. Modern science has made it easier and more productive to go to the dentist.
The most common dental treatment used today is tooth whitening. This is a treatment that simply changes the shade of your teeth one or two shades so your teeth will look whiter. The best candidate for this procedure is someone that does not have gingivitis, has healthy teeth and gums but is not satisfied with the color of their teeth. To them, their teeth show a yellow tint and should be whiter. A tooth whitening treatment at the dentist works much better than any tooth whitening at home kit. Dentists do a professional job at whitening the teeth.
In cases such as a repaired broken tooth or an infection that is being cleared up with antibiotics, it's imperative that you keep follow-up appointments to make sure that the procedure or medication has worked or is working properly. You can often make these appointments with your regular provider.
