stomatolog

Stomatology, also known as dental medicine, is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity, including the teeth, gums, and mouth. Stomatologists are dental professionals who specialize in this field. They undergo extensive education and training, typically completing a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, followed by residency training in various dental specialties.

The primary responsibilities of a stomatologist include performing dental examinations, diagnosing oral health issues, providing preventive care such as dental cleanings and fluoride treatments, and treating conditions like cavities, gum disease, and oral infections. They also play a crucial role in restorative dentistry, which involves repairing damaged teeth through procedures like fillings, crowns, and bridges. Additionally, stomatologists may specialize in areas such as orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery, each focusing on specific aspects of oral health.

Stomatologists are essential members of the healthcare team, working closely with other dental professionals and general practitioners to ensure comprehensive oral health care. They are committed to promoting oral hygiene, educating patients about proper dental care, and maintaining the overall health and function of the mouth and teeth.
