Dental aid is given at dental polyclinics. As a rule a dental polyclinic is a well-planned and comfortable building with modern conveniences. There are many dental surgeries, a laboratory, an X-ray room, an electropathic room and other rooms there. Many specialists such as therapeutic stomatologists, orthodontists, paradontologists, children stomatologists work at the polyclinic. They perform all kinds of dental treatment: cure for caries and other diseases of oral tissues, filling the tooth, restoration of teeth, extraction of bad teeth, correction of bite, fabrication, fitting and placement of dentures to replace missing teeth. Before treating dental diseases it is necessary to make a correct diagnosis, determine aetiology and pathogenesis as well as the symptoms by which a disease can be revealed.

A number of different procedures help in making diagnosis: history-taking, physical examination, which includes visual examination, palpation, percussion, laboratory studies, instrumental studies, for example, X-ray examination and others.

A dental room has an operating chair, an operating lamp, a dental engine, an instrumental table and cupbord, warm air and water syringes, a cautery, a spittoon, a saliva ejector, a mixing plate and many other things and instruments.

Dental treatment is sometimes a very painful procedure. If the pulp cavity is not opened and the carious process is in its initial stage the tooth is treated without pain. That’s why it is necessary to visit a dentist regularly.
