## 2d. Dentist

Dentists are doctors who practice dentistry. Dentists help patients keep their teeth, gums, and mouth healthy.

Many people go to the general dentist to get their teeth cleaned. It is important to have clean teeth to prevent cavities and tooth decay. Dentists clean each tooth with special tools. Dentists take X-rays so they can find problems inside the teeth or below the gums. They also treat jaw problems and gum disease.

Dentists are not only responsible for fixing cavities, chipped teeth, or doing root canals. They also recommend regular check-ups, give advice on how to brush teeth, and in some cases check whether braces are necessary.
