Oral Health and Dentistry

Dentistry

Dentistry is a medical specialty encompassing the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of various conditions. It focuses on disorders and ailments within the oral cavity, primarily involving the dentition and oral mucosa. It also addresses related structures and tissues, particularly within the maxillofacial region. While dentistry is commonly associated with oral health, it extends beyond teeth to encompass various aspects of the craniofacial complex, including the temporomandibular joint and supporting structures.
