This document discusses how to choose a dentist and what to consider. It notes that the field of dentistry is changing with new technologies and treatments available. However, traditional treatments like cleanings and fillings are still needed. When looking for a dentist, it's important to consider their scope of practice - whether they are a general practitioner or specialist. General practitioners offer a wide variety but some focus on certain areas. Specialists undergo extra training in specific areas like orthodontics or oral surgery.
