Frequently Asked Questions
Can a general dentist handle all my dental needs, or do I need to see a specialist for certain treatments?
General dentists are trained to manage most routine dental care, including cleanings, fillings, crowns, and basic extractions. However, complex procedures such as orthodontic braces, wisdom tooth removal, root canal therapy in difficult cases, or gum surgery often require a specialist. Your general dentist will refer you to the appropriate specialist if needed. It’s always best to follow your dentist’s recommendation.
What is the difference between a DDS and a DMD? Does it affect the quality of care?
DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) and DMD (Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry or Doctor of Dental Medicine) are equivalent degrees. Both require the same rigorous training and clinical hours. The difference is simply the name of the degree awarded by the dental school. There is no difference in the scope of practice or quality of care. You can trust either credential equally.
How do I know if I need to see a periodontist or a general dentist for gum problems?
If you have mild gum inflammation (gingivitis), a general dentist can usually treat it with professional cleaning and improved home care. However, if you have advanced gum disease (periodontitis) with deep pockets, bone loss, or gum recession, a periodontist specializes in non-surgical and surgical treatments to manage these conditions. Your dentist will assess the severity and refer you if necessary. Regular check-ups help catch gum problems early.
