Dentist
License Description JOB DESCRIPTION: A dentist examines teeth and tissues of the mouth to diagnose and treat diseases or abnormalities. Dentists take X-rays, place protective plastic shields on children's teeth, fill cavities, straighten or repair teeth, treat gum disease, and perform corrective surgery of the gums and supporting bones. Dentists may be general practitioners, or they may specialize in one of the areas recognized by the American Dental Association such as pediatrics, dentistry, orthodontics (straightening teeth), and prosthodontics (making artificial teeth or dentures). The majority of dentists operate a private or group practice, but some are employed at schools of dentistry.
