DENTAL: The prevention and treatment of oral disease, including diseases of the teeth and supporting structures and diseases of the soft tissues of the mouth. Dentistry also encompasses the treatment and correction of malformation of the jaws, misalignment of the teeth, and birth anomalies of the oral cavity such as cleft palate.

Dentists are trained professionals who help care for the teeth and mouth. Regularly seeing a dentist can help you to maintain a good level of dental health, which may have a direct impact on your overall well-being. Dentists use modern technology and equipment like X-ray machines, lasers, drills, brushes, scalpels, and other medical tools when performing dental procedures.

 Dentistry is a peer-reviewed medical journal that publishes articles in a wide range of fields on like Endodontics, Orthodontics, Dental Implants, Prosthodontics, Restorative Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Periodontics, Forensic Dentistry, Digital Dentistry, Minimal Intervention Dentistry etc and creates a platform for the authors to make their contribution towards the journal. The editorial office promises a peer review of the submitted manuscripts for the quality of publishing.

Dentistry is one of the best open access journals that aims to publish the most complete and reliable source of information on discoveries and current developments in the mode of original articles, review articles, case reports, short communications, etc. in this field and provide online access without any restrictions or subscriptions to researchers worldwide.

Why did we choose to become dentists? Once I revert to my idealistic pre-undergraduate self, I could reel off several good formulaic answers. A more apt adjoining question would be: 'Why am I still a dentist?' That is, despite all the doom and gloom we encounter through dentistry talks, media, colleagues, websites, forums, and blog posts, whether it is on the plight of the NHS, rising costs or the increase in litigation.

You don't just stumble into a job this unique: even within the realms of healthcare, dentistry stands apart. It is half business, half clinical; it is an incredibly intimate job with the potential for great impact: focusing on a part of the body that influences one's confidence, general health, how you eat, sleep, drink, talk, and how you are perceived by others. So clearly some thought must have gone into the decision to take up this career.

Lest we forget public opinion: on at least one occasion, a patient will have told you, 'I hate dentists'. There are common negative stereotypes of dentists as money-grabbing, fear-inducing sadists – who would wish to be attached to this image?

It is a long journey too: you have sat the many exams to get into and stay in university. You have paid the exorbitant fees to complete the five years of training and to register with the regulator and an indemnity provider. Then you begin the job to learn first hand the issues with difficult patients, complaints, over-regulation, rising costs, pay, stress, perpetually continuing years of training, the threat of being sued, high rate of depression and suicide, and the physical demands (chronic back pain, hypertension, carpal tunnel syndrome to name a few). Adapting to the many types of people you see each day is mentally straining, along with its potentially repetitive nature

Orthodontics, division of dentistry dealing with the prevention and correction of irregularitiesdentistry of the teeth—generally entailing the straightening of crooked teeth or the correcting of a poor bite, or malocclusion (physiologically unacceptable contact of opposing dentition, which may be caused by imperfect development, loss of teeth, or abnormal growth of jaws). Of significance to the orthodontist is the sequence of eruption (emergence of the tooth from its developmental crypt into the oral cavity), because such knowledge helps to determine the position of the teeth. Human bone responds best to tooth movement before age 18, and consequently orthodontic work is usually more beneficial to a child than to an adult.
