General Dentist vs Specialist - Who Should You See?
While the public often uses "versus/vs" when comparing the services of general and specialized dentistry, we want to state that this is by no means a competition. General dentists are essential to oral health care and we have longstanding relationships with amazing practitioners across Greater Vancouver, those who often refer us to their own patients when specialized treatments are required. In fact, in Canada, a dentist can apply for certified specialist recognition after completing additional post graduate training (between two to six years) in a specific field of dentistry and by passing both an oral and written fellowship examination by the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC). In BC, the College of Dental Surgeons of British Columbia governs the recognition of a certified specialist, while all are governed by the same ethical guidelines and professional regulations. But alas this does not answer your query about who you should see when it comes to your oral wellness. Today, we take a look at some key dental health concerns that demand you consult with a dental specialist as a complement/supplement to your family's general dentist visits.

The dental community on the other hand, thinks this dream requires a literal interpretation, and it should, given that 69 percent of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth. Even more concerning, is that by age 74, 26 percent have lost all of their permanent teeth. Like it or not, a tooth loss is coming for most of you. However, contrary to the dream analysis, you are not powerless and there are ways to avoid extraction, even when your teeth are exhibiting signs of decay and disease.
