A dentist is a community worker who helps keep people's teeth and gums clean and healthy by showing them how to properly brush and floss, talking to them about a healthy diet, and using special tools to fix problems and take x-rays of teeth. Dentists wear protective equipment like masks, gloves and glasses to keep themselves and patients safe while they care for people's oral health.
