While there are specialists for many of these dental treatments, a general dentist is able to perform most of these procedures. Complicated issues may be referred to a specialist such as a periodontist or prosthodontist, while age-specific patients may benefit from seeing a pediatric or geriatric dentist.
Regular visits to the dentist are recommended at least once every six months in order to maintain proper oral hygiene and screen for any potential problems.
