Sometimes many of the patients of our dental clinic in Murcia ask us why they are not seen by one or another dentist. It is normal, he has treated them before, he was the first one to see them or, sometimes, they know him personally. However, this is not the way we proceed at V\u00e9lez y Lozano, where we have separated ourselves by areas of dentistry according to our specific and complementary training.<\/p>\n

Although there are no specialities as such in dentistry, technical and technological advances, together with improvements in the training and preparation of dentists themselves, as well as the logical development of science itself, allow for greater depth in certain areas of this discipline, thus giving rise to experts in these areas.<\/p>\n

This, which may seem incongruous, is due to the fact that dentistry is a relatively modern degree. It was not until Spain joined the European Union, in fact, that it was introduced into our educational system. Until then, the person dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of oral pathologies was a stomatologist. That is, a professional who had studied medicine and specialised in this area.<\/p>\n

Since the introduction of the career until now, a long way has been travelled in terms of training. Today, when graduating in dentistry, students choose an area or branch of dentistry and start training in it, just like in other health professions. This is why it is becoming increasingly common for other dental practices to follow the same model as we do.<\/p>\n

By this point in the article, you will have understood why our clinic sometimes sees one dentist and sometimes another, depending on the treatment you need to have that day. But you may be wondering, what are these branches of dentistry you are talking about?<\/p>\n

Well, let's list them and describe them briefly:<\/p>\n
