What is the difference between a general tooth doctor and a dental specialist?

A general tooth doctor (dentist) handles routine dental care including fillings, extractions, crowns, cleaning and basic cosmetic treatments. Dental specialists focus on specific areas: an orthodontist for braces and teeth alignment, a periodontist for gum disease, an endodontist for root canals, and an oral surgeon for complex extractions and jaw problems. Your general dentist will refer you to a specialist when needed.

What qualifications should a teeth doctor in India have?

A qualified tooth doctor in India holds a BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) degree. Dental specialists additionally hold MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) in their area. For dental implants, braces or root canals, a specialist dentist with the right MDS qualification is better suited than a general BDS practitioner.
