Calgary dentists may be classified into two main groups. The first being the general dentists and the second being the specialty dentists. General dentists are those who perform most of the well-known dental services like routine checkups, scheduled teeth cleanings, extractions, fillings, and other similar procedures. On the other hand, specialty dentists focus on a specific field of dental care. Some types of specialty dentists include the endodontist who deals with the teeth’'s inner portion, the oral pathologist who examines and treats mouth diseases, the orthodontist who develops and implants corrective appliances like braces, and the pediatric dentist who takes care of dental concerns of infants and children.
