Answers from the dentist"What kind of specialities does dentistry have? What kind of dentist do I need?"Dr Szanda Lemperger, dentist gives the following answer to these questions: "Dentistry has numerous special fields, for instance oral surgery, prosthetics, periodontology, orthodontics just to name a few. Since dentistry is going through a constant dynamic change, there are a lot of new scientific evidences, technologies and tools coming out every day. In order to treat patients in the most professional way, it is very important for the dentists - apart from their comprehensive medical knowledge - to specialize in a distinct dental field and get enough expertise to become a professional master of that particular area. It is a rather fair question to raise: "What kind of dental specialist do I need?"-An oral surgeon is the good choice if the patient needs wisdom tooth extraction, more complex tooth extractions, bone augmentation or implantation. -Periodontist is needed if the patient has gum inflammation, periodontal issues, periodontal surgeries, or if the patient is in need of bone augmentation and implants. -Endodontist is a good choice if the patient needs to have a root canal treatment. -Prosthetic specialists are helping our patients with their crowns, bridges, veneers and removable dentures. -Orthodontists can help the patient to fix their teeth with braces."
