Dentistry

Dentistry focuses on treating diseased teeth or replacing missing teeth. It also deals with the various materials used for this purpose and what effects they can have on the human body. Dental measures and interventions are used to preserve chewing and speaking functions. Although dentistry deals with a relatively small section of the human body, the jaw and teeth are embedded in the functional systems of the head-neck-shoulder region. For this reason, dentists need a well-rounded medical background.
