After four years of dental school, surgeons receive four to seven years of hospital-based surgical and medical training, preparing them to do a wide range of procedures including all types of surgery of both the bones and soft tissues of the face, mouth and neck.<\/p><h2>What is a Periodontist?<\/h2><p>Periodontists are dentists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease. They have had extensive training with two additional years of study after dental school. As specialists they devote their time, energy and skill to helping patients care for their gums. A periodontist is one of the eight dental specialists recognized by the American Dental Association.<\/p><h2>Why is your dentist referring you to a Periodontist?<\/h2><p>Your dentist has determined that your gums require special attention. The periodontist and dentist work together as a team to provide you with the highest level of care. They will combine their experience to recommend the best treatment available to you while keeping each other informed on your progress. By referring you to the specialist, your dentist is showing a strong commitment to your dental health.<\/p><h2>What is an Endodontist?<\/h2><p>The Endodontist examines, diagnoses and treats diseases and destructive processes, including injuries and abnormalities of dental pulps and periapical tissues of the teeth.<\/p><p>Endodontists examine patients and interpret radiographs and pulp tests to determine pulp vitality and periapical tissue condition. They evaluate their findings and prescribe a method of treatment to prevent loss of teeth.<\/p><h2>What is a Prosthodontist?<\/h2><p>The prosthodontist examines and diagnoses disabilities caused by loss of teeth and supporting structures. They formulate and execute treatment plans for the construction of corrective prostheses to restore proper function and esthetics of the mouth, face, and jaw.<\/p><h2>What is a Pediatric Dentist?<\/h2><p>A pediatric dentist has at least two additional years of training beyond dental school. The additional training focuses on management and treatment of a child\u2019s developing teeth, child behavior, physical growth and development, and the special needs of children\u2019s dentistry. Although either type of dentist is capable of addressing your child\u2019s oral health care needs, a pediatric dentist, his or her staff, and even the office d\u00e9cor are all geared to care for children and to put them at ease. If your child has special needs, care from a pediatric dentist should be considered.<\/p><h2>What is an Orthodontist?<\/h2><p>An orthodontist prevents and treats mouth, teeth, and jaw problems. Using braces, retainers, and other devices, an orthodontist helps straighten a person\u2019s teeth and correct the way the jaws line up.<\/p><p>Orthodontists treat kids for many problems, including having crowded or overlapping teeth or having problems with jaw growth and tooth development. These tooth and jaw problems may be caused by tooth decay, losing baby teeth too soon, accidents, or habits like thumb sucking. These problems can also be genetic or inherited.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dental Specialties What is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon (OMS)?
