The Ten Dental Specialties

[@lenysse4303]

I'm in the pre-dental stages of my journey to becoming a dentist. This video was great and so informative on the specialities and not in an overwhelming way. Thank you!!

[@Tooth_Fairy]

Hey there! It's a year later, how's the journey going? Still at it??

[@sunghyooh97]

Thank you, I didn't know there were this many specialties. The information on how long it generally takes was super helpful!

[@daysofcandy000]

Hi everyone I really want to become an orthodontist one day and I am in middle school right now and I promise I will come back when I am an orthodontist so much respect to you all, wish me luck, and I am wishing luck for you too. Bye!

[@tahrimaali8794]

Very well explained ...

[@mentaldental]

Thank you very much! 🙏🏼

[@jimkaur6829]

Thanks for this video! Could you give an idea about dental specialities which requires least hand to motor coordination/ fine clinical skills (my foreign trained dentist friend is suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis and she's really worried about her future in dentistry).

[@mentaldental]

There are definitely many opportunities in the dental field that don't require optimal motor coordination! To answer your question, I would say oral radiology, public health, and perhaps oral pathology.

[@jimkaur6829]

@@mentaldental Thanks for your reply. How about Orofacial pain and Oral medicine? I would really appreciate it if you could write all the specialities according to what you think orderwise from least to most. That would be so helpful! Thanks!

[@romeliachacon5075]

[@mentaldental]

You’re welcome! ☺️

[@sabpodcast5287]

A question: Is restorative dentistry a subspecialty of prosthodontics or are they synonyms?

[@mentaldental]

Restorative dentistry actually falls under the realm of general dentistry, and while crowns and bridges are restorative procedures, prosthodontics is not synonymous with that term.

[@JeannieGutridge]

Is there a full transcript (which includes all of the narration)? In a Word doc?

[@mentaldental]

No, but there should be closed captioning on the video.

[@miguelhelou8885]

What about cosmetic dentistry?

[@mentaldental]

Someone else asked about restorative dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry also falls under the realm of general dentistry. Some dentists like to advertise themselves or focus on the cosmetic aspects of the field but it is not an ADA-recognized specialty.

[@murtazazaidi47]

Can any of these specialists practice general dentistry if they didn't get an American DDS degree? Like, could an American endodontist, who previously earned a foreign dental degree, perform tooth extractions if need be?

[@stephenraydentist]

Murtaza Zaidi I’m not entirely sure about what the procedure is for those who receive their general dentistry degree outside of the U.S. However, specialists can perform any procedures in general dentistry and general dentists can perform basically any specialist procedure (outside of a lot of OS procedures). Specialists are just considered better equipped to deal with difficult cases within their own specialties.

[@shinee1939]

Do they work with endodontists for giving local anaesthesia?? And who perform cosmetic bonding??

[@mikelstef9326]

Thank you !!!! This video was helpful But what you mean bay 3/4 years after dental school !!?

[@shawafhussien]

🖐🏼

[@fofofofofofofofofofofofofo7592]

Can you have all specialty or is it limited?

[@anneleyva3530]

I heard that, you can have all of this specialties as long as you are willing/interested to study again and again.

[@omar619kamis]

@@anneleyva3530 but can you practice them all??? I want to do oral surgery as well as restorative medicine (bridges etc)

[@ysompain]

What about oral medicine specailist? orofacial pain specialist? who cares TMD in this category?

[@mentaldental]

Among the ADA-recognized specialties that I presented, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or prosthodontist would be best equipped to diagnose and treat TMD. But as you pointed out, there are orofacial pain specialists who treat this!

[@yenhsiang0814]

Great!!!

[@merymery604]

Thank you so much

[@akmulla3508]

what about restorative dentistry?

[@mentaldental]

Restorative dentistry falls under the realm of general dentistry and is not its own specialty.

[@Dagostinodental]

❤❤❤

[@jettolentino25]

where does the wisdom teeth extraction category fall?

[@mentaldental]

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery!

[@gijonize]

should one go to dentistry if they can't stand seeing blood and gore?

[@Jen2713ELF]

Uhh probably not

[@fofofofofofofofofofofofofo7592]

Which of this is only for clinical?

[@hazaasaleh7393]
