A dental specialist is exactly what it sounds like, a dentist who decided to specialize in one recognized specialty field of dentistry. This has advantages and disadvantages. While you can learn a great deal more about a specific field, you are also limited to practice in that field. A general dentist learns many different aspects of dentistry, but not as well as the specialist does. Unfortunately there are times when your general dentist cannot provide you with the dental care you seek and it may become necessary to seek out a specialist.

       A dental specialist can choose to specialize in one of many different fields of dentistry. A pediatric dentist specializes in dentistry for children, while and endodontist specializes in root canal therapy. Orthodontics is a field focusing on the correction the alignment of teeth. A periodontist specializes in the care and prevention of gum-related diseases and even bone regeneration while a prosthodontist receives special training in the creation and fitting of dental restorations like dental crowns, dental bridges and dentures.
