A Dentist diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and oral cavity. Services range from routine cleanings, fillings, and root canals to cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening and dental implants.
A Dentist specializing in Dentistry diagnoses and manages a wide range of conditions. Here are some of the most common reasons patients consult a dentist:
Browse verified dentist profiles. Filter by experience, rating, language, and availability.
Select a convenient time for a video consultation or in-clinic visit. Instant confirmation with no waiting.
Consult the doctor, receive a digital prescription, and follow up online. Your records are stored securely.
Visit the dentist every 6 months for a routine checkup and professional cleaning. This allows early detection of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. People with gum disease, diabetes, or a history of frequent cavities may need visits every 3-4 months as recommended by their dentist.
A root canal is needed when the tooth's inner pulp (nerve and blood supply) becomes infected or inflamed, usually from deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma. Signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, darkening of the tooth, swelling, or a pimple on the gums.
Professional teeth whitening performed by a dentist is safe and effective. Over-the-counter whitening products should be used cautiously. Teeth whitening may cause temporary sensitivity. It is not recommended for pregnant women, children under 16, people with gum disease, or those with exposed roots or worn enamel.
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it with milk or saline (not water), and try to place it back in the socket. If not possible, store it in milk or saliva and reach a dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of reimplantation. Time is critical for saving the tooth.
