Dentists are professionals. It is their job to diagnose, treat, and prevent disorders of the teeth, gums, and mouth. Dentists advise clients about the care of their teeth and refer them to specialists, if needed. Students take at least three years of pre-dental studies and then four years of dental school. The pre-dental studies are similar to pre-medicine studies and mainly include science courses.
