Welcome to I-Dentists

To become a dentist, a graduate with a bachelor’s degree undergoes 4 years in one of the dental schools accredited by the American Dental Association’s (ADA’s) Commission on Dental Accreditation. At the end of the course he undertakes various written and oral examinations before being certified as a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD), also known as a dentist. Dentists are specialists trained to diagnose, prevent and treat ailments relating to teeth or oral tissue. Their work involves employing various methods to preserve natural teeth, such as filling cavities, examining X-rays, capping children’s teeth with protective plastic sealants, and straightening and fixing fractured teeth. Evaluation of the dental health is done by examination of the X-rays. They also handle invasive procedures like painless tooth extraction, and surgical correction of gums and supporting bones to treat gum diseases.
