Guides & honest answers

General dentist or specialist?

General dentists handle checkups, cleanings, fillings, crowns, and most everyday dental care — and refer you onward when needed. Orthodontists straighten teeth with braces and aligners. Endodontists specialize in root canals. Periodontists treat gum disease and place implants. Oral surgeons handle extractions, wisdom teeth, and jaw surgery. Pediatric dentists treat infants through teens. If you're not sure where to start, a general dentist is almost always the right first call.
