Dentist
Dentists are professionals who maintain the health of oral structures such as teeth, gums, palates, tongue and other tissues.

Dentists provide direct patient care but they may also teach, conduct research and serve in multiple facets of public and international health and are important advocates of public health care policy reform in government.
