hey guys, i know this may seem to be a stupid question, but what does a general dentist do besides cleaning teeth? Does he/she also diagnose oral disease, root canals, etc???
 
I'm not even going to touch this one. I think I'll let MVSO4 answer you.

a general dentist basically does whatever he is comfortable doing. not much addl education is needed for the ones with superior clinical and intellectual skills.

dentists sure have a lot of lee way in my opinion!

I think I'm going to let this one pass also while I go pound my head against the wall....
 
Eh...it's OK....everyone is entitled to one colossal bonehead question. I'm pretty sure we've all asked at least one (and some people are this short with everyone, so it's not just you). Welcome to SDN by the way. 😉
