The mouth is the mirror to the rest of the body. Dentists lead teams to provide preventive and restorative care to keep people healthy, alleviate pain and treat patients’ oral health needs. They are at the forefront of research and developments in a wide range of innovative procedures to enhance dental and overall well-being. Oral health professionals are instrumental in the early detection of oral cancers and systemic conditions that manifest in the mouth and that can affect the overall health of patients.
