Most people have a family dentist, but there are a variety of other dental specialists. One of the most significant assumptions about oral healthcare is that it’s all the same and that a dentist solves every tooth problem. The reality is that teeth and general oral healthcare are pretty broad and require special attention, depending on the situation. Not very many people know the first thing about the different types of dentists out there.

A great way to get informed is by watching the video ‘7 Types Of Dentists – Which One Is Best For You.’ The video provides a fundamental basis and explanation of the differences.

There’s the general family dentist, which most people regularly visit. They handle most general tooth problems but will refer their patients to specialists if needed.

Younger patients may require the services of a pedodontist, also known as a pediatric dentist.

An orthodontist is a type of dentist that focuses on the alignment of the jaw and teeth.

Periodontists tend to focus on gum problems and can perform minor related surgeries to solve the problem. They are also known as gum specialists.

An endodontist deals with teeth that have pain due to cavities or damaged nerve endings.

Pathologists specialize in treating oral diseases, often through oral surgeries.

Last but not least are the prosthodontists that mainly deal with improving the appearance of the teeth.
