What does the Department of General Dentistry treat?

The Department of General Dentistry is primarily responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases affecting dental structures, gums, oral mucosa, salivary glands, and other components of the oral cavity. It is further divided into five specialized divisions: Operative Dentistry and Endodontics, Periodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Oral Mucosal Diseases, and Preventive Dentistry. The Division of Operative Dentistry and Endodontics mainly manages conditions such as dental caries, pulpitis, and periapical periodontitis. The Periodontics division focuses on periodontal health issues including gingivitis, periodontitis, and other periodontal diseases. Pediatric Dentistry specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases in children. The Division of Oral Mucosal Diseases handles the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the oral mucosa, such as oral ulcers and oral lichen planus. Preventive Dentistry emphasizes prevention of oral diseases and comprehensive oral health management. If you have any concerns, please consult a relevant dental professional.
