My baby cries without a bedtime bottle. You are free to choose any dentist. Just as the medical field has specialists and primary care physicians, so too does dentistry.
Most people receive all of their dental treatment from a general dentist.
A general dentist may perform any type of dental services, but may refer his or her patients to a specialist for more complex procedures. To be a specialist, a dentist must have additional training in the specialty. This training consists of postgraduate classes and hands-on experience and often includes a formal residency program in a dental teaching clinic. Oral Surgeons remove impacted teeth and repair fractures of the jaw and other damage to the bone structure around the mouth. Orthodontists correct misaligned teeth and jaws, usually by applying braces.
