Dental aid is usually provided at dental clinics. Any dental polyclinic is a well-equipped and planned building that has all modern conveniences. There are many dental surgeries, a laboratory, an X-ray room and other rooms here.

Many specialists work at a dental clinic including therapeutists, surgeons, orthodontists, orthopedists and laboratory technicians. They perform all kinds of dental work: treat diseases of the dental pulp, extract teeth, perform laboratory tests, correct the bite, treat gum diseases, design and fit bridgework and dentures to replace the missing teeth, all kinds of restorative work.

Before treating a disease it is necessary to make a diagnosis, determine its origin, pathogenesis as well as the symptoms by which it can be revealed. A number of different procedures are used to establish a diagnosis: history taking, physical examination, which includes visual examination, palpation, laboratory studies, instrumental studies, for example, X-ray examination and others.

Dental treatment is known to be a very painful procedure. If a cavity is discovered at an early stage, the tooth can be treated without any pain. Only when it is neglected the patient has some unpleasant sensations. In such cases dentists try to evolve new methods of dental treatment and to administer different anaesthetics.

The dentists treat the patients at dental surgeries. A modern dental surgery is a large and light hall with different universal equipment to fulfill the needs of the dentist. First of all there are units including engines with arm-chairs for the patients. These are quite modern easy-to-use dental unit systems. The patients can sit or lie in the arm-chair. There are also small chairs for the dentists, they are movable and comfortable. There is an instrument table or an instrument holder near every armchair. It can be easily moved to be at the dentist's disposal.

You can see some instruments on it. Usually there is a tray with a set of instruments such as: an explorer, a mixing pad, a pincer, a dental mirror and some others.

There are also instrument cupboards with many instruments in them. Hygiene is very important in the work of a dentist, that's why all the instruments are carefully cleaned or disinfected.
