A dentist (dental surgeon) diagnoses and treats problems of the teeth, gums, and mouth. In Bangladesh, patients most commonly see a dentist for toothache and cavities, bleeding or swollen gums, tooth sensitivity to hot and cold, broken or knocked-out teeth, persistent bad breath, and stains and wear from paan, supari, jorda, and gul. Dentists also do routine scaling and polishing, fillings, root canal treatment (RCT), extractions, crowns and bridges, dentures, braces, and they screen for oral cancer, an important concern given widespread tobacco and betel-nut use. In a typical consultation the dentist takes your history, examines your teeth and gums, may order an X-ray (OPG or periapical), explains the problem, and gives a treatment plan with a cost estimate; simple cleaning or a filling is often done the same day. You should see a dentist for a check-up and cleaning every six to twelve months even without pain, and promptly for toothache, regularly bleeding gums, a loose adult tooth, facial swelling with fever, or any mouth ulcer or white or red patch that has not healed within two weeks.
