Cleanings and exams catch decay early—the dentist scales off tartar buildup you can't remove at home, takes X-rays to spot problems between teeth, and checks for gum disease or oral cancer. Fillings repair cavities by removing decayed material and packing the hole with composite or amalgam. Root canals become necessary when decay reaches the nerve; the dentist removes infected pulp, cleans the canal, and seals it to save the tooth. Extractions pull teeth too far gone to fix. Crown work involves grinding down a damaged tooth and fitting a cap over it, which takes at least two visits. These five jobs make up the bulk of what dentists do, though some also handle scaling for periodontal disease, bite corrections, or denture fitting.
Beyond routine work, dentists manage pain and infection. An abscess needs draining and antibiotics. A cracked tooth might need a crown or extraction depending on how deep it goes. Some patients call because they haven't been in years and need a full assessment—that's a longer appointment with multiple X-rays and a treatment plan. Denture adjustments and relining keep false teeth functional. The core skill across all of it is diagnosis: figuring out what's causing the problem and picking the right fix.
