Pediatric dentistry is a sub-branch of dental science that provides both initial oral health cares for infants and children till adolescence. During the first 6 months of life, children begin to get their baby teeth. After that, they start to lose their first set of teeth which will be replaced by secondary (permanent) teeth. Without a proper dental care, they face oral decays and diseases that can cause complications and pain. Early childhood dental caries is 10 times more common than other diseases.
The critical part that dental practitioners, dental hygienists, researchers, and other wellbeing experts of dental occasions will prompt the sheltered and powerful ailment anticipation measures to exist that everybody can embrace to enhance oral wellbeing and avert sickness. Oral issues, including dental and periodontal contaminations, dry mouth, tooth rot, are for the most part treatable with legitimate finding and care.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery is the specialty of dentistry, which includes revising an extensive variety of wounds, ailments, and deformities in the head, face, neck, and tissues in the oral and maxillofacial area. It encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, traumatic injuries, and deformities of the face, mouth, dentition, jaws, and neck. It also includes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects of tissues (both hard and soft) of the oral and maxillofacial region.
It is a bridge between medicine and dentistry, treating conditions that require expertise from both backgrounds such as head and neck cancers, early dental implant failure, antibiotic prophylaxis, salivary gland diseases, facial disproportion, facial pain and cysts and tumors of the jaws and infections. It provides the highest standard of surgical care for patients with benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck region, the trauma of the oral and maxillofacial region, basic oral surgical procedures including removal of wisdom teeth and the placement of implants, dentofacial and cleft deformities.

Prosthodontics in dentistry deals with restoration and replacement of defective teeth. Oral deterioration and loss of teeth are often the consequences of dental caries and periodontal diseases. It leaves a patient with psychological discomfort. Prosthodontists develop plans and synchronize dental treatments with dental specialists to provide comprehensive dental care to patients. The study of the specialized system of hard and soft tissues that support and maintains position in the jaw is periodontology.
An apparatus named as periodontium securely attaches teeth to the jaw thereby acting as a shock absorber during the action of biting and chewing by preventing damage to teeth by excessive forces and also to maintain a stable position of teeth within the jaws. The periodontitis is always triggered by plaque accumulation on teeth which can weaken the supporting structures of teeth.  Periodontology is also regarded as ‘holistic’ form of dentistry.

Restorative dentistry deals with diagnosing and managing the diseases of teeth, its supporting structures and the healing of the dentition to practical and inventive requirements of the individual. It encompasses the dental specialties of endodontic, periodontics, prosthodontics and its foundation is based upon how these interact in cases where composite care is needed.  The ultimate outcome of dental cavities is resolved by the balance between pathological factors that leads to demineralization and protective factors that leads to demineralization.
Endodontic is the specialty of dentistry concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of the dental pulp along with associated per radicular conditions. Endodontic treatment removes the diseased pulp, clean and shapes the root canal system, disinfect the contaminated root canals, and then fill the root canal system to block re-infection and stimulate per radicular healing.

The specialty of dentistry that deals with the management of pain through the use of advanced local and general anesthesia techniques. It is the discipline in dentistry that manages pain and anxiety through the use of local anesthesia, sedation, and general anesthesia. Dental Anesthesiology educates graduate, pre-doctoral, and dental hygiene students in the management of pain, fear, and anxiety associated with dental treatment.  Dentist anesthesiologists trained to provide the entire spectrum of anesthetic services, which generally range from local anesthesia through general anesthesia, for a wide range of dental and surgical procedures. Faculty research involving dental anesthesiology has focused on the clinical efficacy and safety of anesthetics when used in both healthy and medically-compromised patients.

Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery is a surgical specialty which involves the diagnosis, surgery and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. The temporomandibular joints (TMJs), jaw joints, are the foundation for jaw position, facial growth and development, function, dental occlusion, facial balance and comfort. If the TMJs are not stable and healthy (non-pathological), patients requiring orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery may have unsatisfactory outcomes relative to function, esthetics, dental occlusal and skeletal stability, and pain. A review of 1369 consecutive TMJ patients referred to Dr. Larry Wolford’s practice revealed an age range of 8 to 76 years at initial evaluation, with 78% of the patients female and 22% male. Interestingly, 69% of the patients reported the onset of their TMJ problems during the teenage years. Therefore, TMJ pathology predominantly develops in teenage females, although may not manifest itself until much later.

Forensic odontology mainly involves the identification of an assailant by comparing a record of their dentition (set of teeth) with a record of a bite mark left on a victim. It is helpful for Dental identification, Age estimation and Oral and dental aspects. Dental Anthropology is a field of inquiry that utilizes information obtained from the teeth of either skeletal or modern human populations to resolve anthropological problems. Given their nature and function, teeth are used to address several kinds of questions. First, teeth exhibit variables with a strong hereditary component that are useful in assessing population relationships and evolutionary dynamics.

Oral microbiology is a complex ecological system where up to 700 species of microorganisms that have been identified. Some of the predominant groups present in the mouth include Streptococcus, Neisseria, Veillonella, Actinomyces and other obligate anaerobes. These organisms maintain a mutualistic relationship with the host by preventing pathogenic species from adhering to the mucosal surface. Oral microflorae can cause dental plaques and are also a common cause dental caries and periodontal disease . Oral disease in an individual can be caused due to a combination of lack of oral hygiene and factors influencing the oral microbial community structure, such as diet. An understanding of the oral environment and microbial interactions leads to understanding the main causes for the onset of oral diseases.

Restorative Dentistry refers to any Dental procedure that repairs or replaces a tooth. Restorative procedures include cavity fillings, Root canals, and even Dental implants. There can be two goals in restorative Dentistry: to restore the function of the teeth and to restore the appearance of the teeth. To put it simply, Restorative Dentistry involves any Dental process which focuses on repairing or restoring damaged Oral structures. This can include procedures such as fillings, bridges, and implants among many other services.

 Here are the eight most common types of restorations.

Dental Implants Perhaps unsurprisingly, Dental implants are now one of the most popular types of Dental restorations.

• Inlay restorations.
• Onlay restorations.
• Composite fillings.
• Dental Crowns.
• Dentures or Partial Dentures.
• Fixed bridges.
• Root Canal.

The Top 10 Ways to Improve Your Overall Dental Health

Root canal treatment or Endodontic treatment is necessary when the centre part within the tooth, known as the pulp, housing the blood vessels, nerves and living connective tissues, become infected or inflamed. The root canal procedure is performed to save a damaged or badly infected tooth, instead of extracting it. There are several benefits to choosing root canal therapy. This treatment can: Prevent infection from spreading to other teeth. Ease the symptoms associated with an infected tooth.
Root canal treatment is done in 3 stages:

Stage 1: involves removal of the dead nerve and the gross infection. ...
Stage 2: this involves further cleaning and shaping of the canals. ...
Stage 3: this is the last stage in the completion of treatment which involves filling the canals with an inert filling material.

Nanodentistry is defined as the science and technology of diagnosing, treating and preventing Oral and Dental diseases, relieving pain, preserving and improving Dental Health using nanostructured material. Nanotechnology has various applications in Dentistry, including Dentition Renaturalization, therapy for Dentin Hypersensitivity, complete orthodontic realignment in a single visit, covalently bonding diamondized enamel, enhancing properties of root canal sealers, and continuous Oral health maintenance using mechanical . Nanomaterials used in the dental filling, polishing of the enamel surface to prevent caries, also used as implant materials that are more effective than the conventional materials. Some of the nanoparticles act as antimicrobial agent thus prevent bacterial growth. Nanotechnology has various applications in dentistry, including dentition renaturalization, therapy for dentin hypersensitivity, complete Orthodontic realignment in a single visit, covalently bonding diamondized enamel, enhancing properties of root canal sealers, and continuous Oral health maintenance using mechanical

Diagnosis and prevention of oral diseases is not a simple task because the oral diseases may be a result of the various factors. Some of them may be due to the infections caused by the bacteria, fungi or viruses while some may be caused by the dental injuries. The diagnosis and prevention of the oral diseases includes various steps and procedures. The advancement of photography imaging provides endless quantity of knowledge to assess the patient’s oral health. The mixture of high accuracy 3D actinic ray surface pictures with 3D CBCT pictures area unit wont to produce a virtual patient that specifically displays each the arduous and soft tissue structures.  Secretion nosology has been researched for years to see whether or not it's wont to notice the standing and susceptibleness to each oral and general case.
