When we have a toothache, when a tooth hurts us, we go to the dentist’s.

When a patient comes to the dentist for the first time, the dentist asks him some questions about his dental history and his health in general. He examines his teeth and surrounding tissues. He checks his bite.

If a tooth has a cavity, the dentist must put in a filling. If a tooth is too bad, the dentist may extract it.

To reveal any areas of decay which are not obviously detectable, dentists take X-ray. The dentist may decide what type of restoration is the most suitable for the case. Restorations can be by fillings, inlays, onlays, crowns or by replacement of a gap by fitting a bridge. Sometimes it is necessary to make full dentures. To reduce discomfort and pain in dental procedures, dentists use local anesthesia. .

Dentist’s job requires not only good professional knowledge, but also “creative hands”. A dentist must be able to get on with different kinds of people. He must know all new methods of treatment, all new materials used as well as all achievements in modern dentistry. Except of general dentists, a lot of different specialists in stomatology work at the polyclinic such as surgeons, orthopedists, orthodontists and periodontists.
