By:

A dentist is a person who practices dentistry as a
profession. Dentistry is the arrangement, function and
placement of teeth according to the dental science. In order
to become a dentist one needs to be trained for many years
in a university as well as have some practical experience.
In United States, you have to obtain a degree in DDS or DMD,
prior to that you must hold a post graduate degree, to be a
dentist. In Australia, dentist holds a degree in bachelor of
dental surgery or bachelor of dental science. In United
Kingdom dentists undergo five years of study prior to
securing BDS degree.
There are several dental specialities. Dentists can be
specialists of either of these:
A dentist who is an Orthodontic is known for straightening
teeth, oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Pedodontics: This involves treatment of children's teeth.
Periodontics: It is the treatment of various gum diseases.
Prosthodontics: In this the missing teeth are replaced with
the help of dental implants, bridges and dentures.
Operative dentistry: This involves restoring existing teeth.
Endodontics is a therapy for root canal.
The study of social health policies and dental epidemiology
is dental public health.
Forensic odontology is used to gather dental evidence in
law.
Oral Radiology and Oral Pathology: It is the study of oral
and various other dental diseases.
Further training is needed for dentists to become
specialists. However, there re some other specialties too
for which dentists do not require such training. These are
cosmetic dentistry, temporal-mandibular joint therapy and
dental implant. In order to be the specialists in these, the
courses that last for about few days are enough.
There were no dentists in colonial times in Canada.
Although, Europe and some other developed parts of the world
had dentists, in Canada, interestingly, blacksmiths and
barbers used to pull out decayed teeth of the people. Canada
got its first dentist when some loyalists fled to Canada
from America in order to escape the ongoing revolution. In
1814, someone for the first time advertised in the newspaper
offering his dentistry services. That is how people of
Canada came to know of this profession.
There are some other amazing facts associated with this
profession. People believe that dentists suffer from
inferiority complex as they are looked down upon by other
medical professionals. To make the matter worse they do not
have a good rapport with their clients as everyone hates to
see the dentist because of the pain. According to some
research a higher suicidal rate among the dentists is
attributed to all these reasons.
