Dental health is a highly important issue for individuals of all ages. A good state of health is determined by a number of factors, such as: satisfactory ecological situation; regular hygienic procedures; pure drinking water; high quality of food products containing vitamins, minerals and amino acids; absence of bad habits (smoking) and others. Negative factors, such as contaminated surrounding; irregular teeth brushing; poor quality of foodstuffs; smoking and others can significantly affect the state of teeth and gums and result in deteriorations.
A dentist is a medical specialist who is in charge to deal with problems of teeth and gums. As a matter of fact, dental specialists can work both in public clinics or establish own business by opening private offices. It must be mentioned, that dental services are usually included into a common health insurance according to the norms valid in civilized countries. In case of a contingency, a policy holder is expected to apply to a hospital with the purpose of having an entire complex of essential dental services covered by an insurance company. Private dentists may not be in charge to give their services to clients holding a dental insurance. They work mainly with private patients who make direct payments for dental services.
The functions of private dentists comprise: providing common consultations (to figure out clients? preferences); having X-rays made (to realize the core of a problem in a requested area and assess the amount of work due to be done); removing tartar (with the help of a chosen method with ultrasound being one of the most up-to-date ones); removing caries by drilling out the damaged areas (followed by installation of teeth fillings); deleting bad tooth/teeth (including the termination of a tooth?s root to exclude pain effect); giving recommendations as far as teeth and gums care is concerned and a lot of others.
Private dentist can also give cosmetic services, among them being: teeth whitening procedures (by the means of polishing enamel or implementing other techniques); correcting teeth?s forms and positions (consultation and installation of individual braces); prosthetics (installation of crowns and/or making a set of artificial teeth); installation of teeth implants (a comparatively innovative technique) and others.
