Periodontics is one of the branches of dentistry that is responsible for treating, preventing and operating diseases that have to do with the tissues of the gums and jaw bones, which are responsible for supporting the weight of a tooth. One of the most common diseases treated by this branch is gingivitis, which is quite common nowadays and causes more teeth to fall out.

Orthodontics is a very common dental treatment, and in fact we probably know the profession in movies for these prostheses. 

Orthodontics are responsible for preventing or fixing errors in the development of the teeth or jawbone, which in addition to being an aesthetic problem can also seriously affect the normal functioning of the teeth preventing a good cleaning and promoting the emergence of diseases by infections or accumulation of bacteria. 

After the placement of these appliances, the teeth will gradually begin to adjust their position. It is a painless process and without any discomfort (depending on the orthodontic treatment you have chosen). The most normal is that after a few years it is removed to see the final results. The dental arch is the one that usually deviates the most, creating occlusion problems that can affect the patient when eating or doing the general cleaning of their teeth.

This treatment is one of the most requested through dental clinics. The function of this is to treat the root canals in order to remove or eliminate the infected dental pulp by an active bacterial broth. It is an excellent companion to save teeth from their destiny of decay.

Maxillofacial or orthognathic surgeries are part of the medical specialty of the same name, which is in charge of studying, diagnosing, finding solutions and operating on those who suffer from problems related to oral structures. 

This is not only a treatment, since maxillofacial surgeons are in charge of different types of problems. Among them we can find these treatments: 

• Reconstruction of the jaws due to genetic malformation, accidents, etc.
• Extraction of oral tumors.
• Extraction of oral cysts.
• Complex dental extractions.
• Bone grafts.
• Extraction of wisdom teeth close to the nerve.
• Reconstructions and post cancer treatment in the head and neck area.

Pediatric dentistry is the dentist in charge of dental problems that children develop as they grow. They usually tend to treat broken teeth, so they are specialized in restoring teeth. In addition, they are in charge of teaching children how to maintain good hygiene and how they should take care of their teeth to avoid serious diseases. Of course, with the help of the guidance of the parent who will be in charge of making the child comply with these rules until he/she is able to do them by him/herself. 

It is one of the most important dental branches since they are the first contact that the child has with a dental specialist, therefore they will be in charge of teaching the multiple techniques of dental hygiene and they are in charge of explaining the importance of the oral cavity in the child's development. It is therefore important that children attend a dentist pleasant and with whom they feel comfortable, since learning will be easier to carry. 

It is recommended that the first appointment where the child is taken to the dentist is at one year of age, although it can be extended up to four years depending on whether parents are instructed on how to clean their children's teeth from the first months of life. Even if the child does not have teeth, a small cloth should still be used to clean the gums every time the child eats.

The branch of dentistry that is based on the neurofocal is responsible for diagnosing, treating and preventing different oral diseases that can also affect other organs of the body in general. 

It is worth mentioning that it has been considered as an alternative medicine treatment because it also focuses on dental wellness from an emotional point of view and not only from a totally scientific one.

This is a branch of dentistry that is less known to the public although it is quite important in today's context. Odonto-odontogeriatria is in charge of taking care of elderly people with dental problems. Due to their condition and the fact that their body has aged, the medical treatment may not be the same as that of an adult or a child. 

This is treated after the age of 50, as this is when health problems worsen and you start to see more decay of vital body functions, such as joint movement.

Oral implantology is a branch of dentistry that is responsible for extracting and replacing teeth that have been lost or broken, all this through minimally invasive surgical operations where the new tooth will be placed to replace the one that is no longer in the jaw. 

In this category there are two types of implants to be placed: 

Endo-osseous:

 The most common and most reliable option within this world, it is quite good for patients who want mostly an aesthetic improvement, although it also includes the functionality of the tooth. As the name implies, this replacement goes inside the jawbone and is placed through an osseointegration that will continue to work after leaving the operating room, with treatment completion in approximately five months. 

Subperiosteal or Juxta-osseous: 

This type of implantology is a little more complex to place and use. For this a metal bridge will need to be inserted through the lower part of our dental tissue, and through there the base for the dental implant will be placed. This is used in people who cannot use normal implantology or who do not have enough mass in the jawbone to be able to support an implant. It requires a slightly more invasive surgery, but its results are as good as the previous treatment.

Cosmetic dentistry is mainly focused on seeking the physical satisfaction of the client so that they can achieve an aesthetic and beautiful smile without having to undergo invasive treatments that damage their teeth. 

The intention of aesthetic dentistry is to have a balance between the beautiful and the functional, such as transparent braces, which are responsible for benefiting the tooth but at the same time are not seen and therefore do not cause aesthetic insecurities.

This part of dentistry belongs to sports medicine and is in charge of protecting the dentures or maxillofacial bones of athletes at professional or standard levels. This is more focused on young patients as they tend to have more accidents. 

Sports dentists are in charge of informing and creating alternatives to avoid this type of inconvenience that could be fatal in the long term for athletes. One of the instruments most used by them are the sports masks for sports such as boxing, which are edited to the mouth of the person so that there are no inconveniences while practicing the sport.

Usually this treatment is sent among the normal examinations that are made to a person who needs an orthodontic or has suffered an injury in the maxillary bone. The idea of this is that it helps dentists to determine what the problem is and how to solve it, since this image allows them to give a broader information of what is happening inside the patient's mouth. 

There are four types of dental radiological examinations: 

Intraoral X-ray: 

This type of X-ray is characterized by giving a more complete image of the inside of the mouth. It is widely used to detect interproximal caries and in addition to this, problems in the dental roots. 

Panoramic X-ray:

 This type of X-ray focuses the image on the bone structure of the maxillary bone. Therefore, a complete and whole image of the entire structure of the mouth is obtained. This requires the necessary technological machinery that can make a complete turn of the patient's head to take the whole picture. 

Attending a dental clinic for a regular consultation is absolutely necessary in order to have good dental hygiene. Some people only think it is necessary to attend when they already have a dental problem, but it would really be better if they concentrate on prevention rather than the solution to the disease. An inflammation of the gums need not be the only reason to visit the dentist.

Most commonly, the refusal or avoidance of the consultation is due to the supposed lack of time that many have due to constant work or procrastination. In addition to believing that it is a necessary expense, and even those who avoid going out of fear, this needs to change and see it from a different perspective. It is no longer an option, it is a necessity.

Ironically, those who attend consultations the least are adults, who should be constantly attentive to their health and understand the importance of the dentist. Although it is also important for children to go to the dentist to ensure a perfect development of the oral cavity and dental tissues. It is not necessary to wait too long, with a routine visit every 4 months would be more than enough to comply with the prevention of diseases.
