Most people with a graduate degree in dentistry go on to practice dentistry. They can work in hospitals along physicians (in operating rooms or emergency care) or in small community clinics. They can also go into private practice: solo practice or in partnership with others in the dentistry profession. These dentists work on patients to provide preventive care, fill cavities, extract teeth, treat gum disease, and straighten teeth. Dentists who have specialized can go into oral surgery, orthodontics, oral esthetics, or oral pathology.
Dentists also teach and do research at dental schools. They can also go into community and public education, such as working in a community centre, doing work for vulnerable populations (eg. the homeless), or teaching about health sciences at the primary and secondary school level (with the additional teaching degree). They can also perform dentistry for specific groups such as the military, prison inmates, and other populations that tend to become isolated. Many dentists volunteer to aid people in third world countries.
A degree in dentistry can also be used for entry to medical school, pharmacy, nursing, public health, and many other health-science-related jobs. They can also work in international healthcare such as WHO and UNESCO.
