Dentistry is a branch of healthcare focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and overall oral health. It plays a vital role in maintaining not only a healthy smile but also overall well-being, as oral health is closely connected to general health.

Dental services include preventive care, such as routine examinations, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to help prevent cavities and gum disease. Restorative treatments address damaged or missing teeth and may involve fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, and root canal therapy.
