About dentists
Dentists are regulated health professionals who are experts in oral health. Dentists treat diseases, conditions and disorders of the teeth, mouth and surrounding tissues and structures to contribute to oral health and general well-being. They may work with dental hygienists, dental assistants, laboratory technicians and receptionists.
A dentist practises in private practice clinics, hospitals, universities and public health facilities.
