dental therapists. By
nature of their general training, a licensed dentist can carry out most dental
treatments such as Professional teeth cleaning, restorative (dental
restorations, crowns, bridges), orthodontics (braces), prosthodontic (dentures,
crown/bridge), endodontic (root canal) therapy, periodontal (gum) therapy, and
oral surgery (extraction of teeth), as well as performing examinations, taking
radiographs (x-rays) and diagnosis. Additionally, dentists can further engage
in oral surgery procedures such as dental implant placement.

That most dental students obtain a bachelor's degree prior to entering dental
school . While no specific undergraduate degree is required, students commonly
take science courses in biology, anatomy, chemistry and microbiology.
Reflection
I would not like to become a dentist
because I do like touching other people mouth and also because they do not get
good money. Also because I do not like what they do and you need to go
to school a lot
