Dentists offer professional advice and instruction to their patients concerning how best to care for their teeth and gums, including diet choices that can affect oral health. In addition, dentists also diagnose and treat problems. Their communication, dexterity, leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills assist them in the workplace.
Whether as a member of a larger organization or in private practice, dentists enjoy successful careers as general practitioners, dental public health specialists, endodontists, oral and maxillofacial radiologists or surgeons, oral pathologists, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, periodontists, or prosthodontists.
