Dental specialties have specific skill sets and educational requirements. Orthodontists, pediatric dentists and general dentists each have unique characteristics; however, they share a united mission: to guide patients toward achieving maximum oral systemic health.Together, dental care professionals provide the pinnacle standard of dental care.
What makes them different?
General dentists are the primary care providers of dentistry. A DDS diagnoses and treats most oral health issues and serves as your long-term provider for the majority of your dental needs. S/he handles preventative care and manages issues involving gums, roots, cavities and cosmetics.
Orthodontics focuses primarily on diagnosis, prevention and correction of malocclusions or “bad bites.” Issues such as crowded teeth and underdeveloped jaws, correct through the use of orthodontic appliances.
Scholarly differences
A dentist is not necessarily an orthodontist or a pediatric dentist. Achieving a degree in dentistry requires completion of a four-dental school.The first two years of school consist of classroom studies, while the final two years are mainly clinical.
Did you know only about 6 percent of dental graduates continue their education to become an orthodontist? These resilient dentists attend 3-5 years of residency where they study in-depth biomedical courses, behavioral and basic sciences, and train in the expertise of facilitating tooth movement related to the face and neck. It’s a fact, orthodontists are equipped experts upon the completion of residency!
Similarly, pediatric dentists also complete additional residency. They are educated on healthy gums, developing jaws and the complexities of treating continuously evolving mouths. They also receive training to interact well with children of various personality types, attitudes and anxiety levels.
