What Does A Dentist Do ?

Quite a few school leavers and friends have been asking about the roles of a dentist and what is involved so is this blog post have attempted to outline the main roles.

The dentist has many responsibilities and duties towards his patients and the public in general. He has to be dedicated to his profession. The primary thing a dentist does is provide oral care. This includes providing preventive care in the form of patient education on tooth, gum, and mouth, while a dentist typically does not conduct the routine cleaning that their patients receive. This is the job of the dental hygienist. At Lifestyle dental we examine the teeth, gums and mouth as well as performing a variety of dental procedures including.

Responsibilities of a Dentist

The responsibility of a dentist extends to the dental profession. In Preston, this is outlined by The General Dental Association’s Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct. This code primarily works to guide dentists to uphold a certain level of trust, accuracy, authority, and responsibility to their patients. Additionally, like medical doctors (GPs), dentists are required to comply with continuing education requirements imposed by their professional regulation bodies. The professional responsibilities are the responsibilities of a dentist that pertain to his role as health care provider to the public.

A dentist, also takes the primary resposibility in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity. The dentist’s supporting team aides in providing oral health services. His dental team includes dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and in some states, dental therapists. He can also prescribe medications such as antibiotics, fluorides, pain killers, sedatives and any other medication that serve in the treatment of the various conditions that arise in the head and neck. He has to be a qualified doctor holding a medical degree to do so.

Professional Treatment

By nature of their general training, a dentist can carry out the majority of dental treatments such as dental restorations, crowns, bridges, orthodontics braces, prosthetic dentures, endodontic root canal therapy, periodontal gum therapy, and extraction of teeth, as well as performing examinations, taking radiographs, x-rays and diagnosis. Dentists need to take additional qualifications or training to carry out more complex procedures such as General anesthesia, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and implants. Sometimes conditions in the oral cavity may be indicative of systemic diseases such as osteoporosis, diabetes, or cancer.

While many oral diseases are unique and self limiting, poor conditions in the oral cavity can lead to poor general health and vice versa. Thus a dentist has to specialize in certain special fields.

Dental public health – The study of dental epidemiology and social health policies.
Endodontic,
Oral and maxillofacial pathology
Oral and maxillofacial radiology
Oral and maxillofacial surgery
Implants and Maxillofacial surgery
Orthodontics and dent facial orthopedics
Pediatric dentistry, dentistry for children
Prosthodontics – Dentures, bridges and the restoration of implants

Straighten Your Teeth

Nadim — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 06:42:53 +0000

We have been treating people to help straighten teeth for over two years now and have helped many people achieve the smile they desire here are a few options available if your considering this form of treatment

1, Six month smile – if you woudl like to have a cosmetic brace which doesn’t show and is fixed to the teeth with clear brackets then this is the option for you

2, Inman aligner - if you would like a removable brace which can straighten your front teeth in a matter of weeks (most people can be treated within 16-20 weeks) you only need to wear this for about 19 hours per day so it means you can take this out for social occasions

3, The clearstep or invisalign treatment – this allows you to have a complete invisable system to have your teeth straightened although does take a little longer

if you would like to know more then please call in or telephone on 01772 717316 or email info@lifestyledental.co.uk

Do you want straighter teeth but don’t want to wait for up to two years to get that great smile?

Most people would like straighter teeth although do not want to spend a year or even longer in some cases wearing braces, yes you can get clear braces as well like Clearstep or Invisalign although these can take just as long so if your looking for a solution to get straighter teeth fast then this is for you

The six month smile system is now available at lifestyle dental by concentrating on the front teeth and the teeth that show when you smile most people can be treated within six months

The brace itself is very discreet and here is a picture of some one wearing the brace.

The brace itself consists of clear brackets and a tooth coloured wire. There can be a small amount of discomfort although this can be alleviated with painkillers available over the counter.

Once the brackets are fitted review appointments are made once every month to change the wire and do any alterations.

Most people can be treated within six – nine months

Another Testimonial …….

I started treatment in June

I searched for Lifestyle Dental on the internet because I was unhappy with my smile and my teeth as they were crooked and twisted.

The service here has been brilliant

My first impressions of Lifestyle Dental was that it was not like a dental practice it was clean very friendly and a very friendly team.

NowI am more confident about smiling and showing my teeth. I wanted to do this fro myself.

I think the biggest benefit of this is I feel more confident I have already recommended Lifestyle Dental to a friend
