What does a dentist treat? 
 A dentist is a healthcare professional responsible for preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions related to the teeth, gums, and oral cavity. The most common problems dentists treat include cavities, gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), dental infections, tooth loss, bite problems, and cosmetic issues related to the smile. Dentists in Barranquilla also perform procedures such as dental cleanings, teeth whitening, restorations, dental prosthetics, and smile design treatments. 
What are the dental specialties in Barranquilla? 
 In Barranquilla, you can find general dentists as well as specialists in different areas of dentistry. Some of the most common specialties include: 
 - Orthodontics: teeth alignment with braces or clear aligners. 
 - Implant dentistry: dental implants. 
 - Periodontics: gum treatment. 
 - Endodontics: root canal treatment. 
 - Pediatric dentistry: dental care for children.

When should I visit a dentist? 
 It is recommended to visit a dentist at least once a year for a routine checkup and professional cleaning to help prevent oral diseases. However, you should also seek care if you experience symptoms such as tooth pain, sensitivity, bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, broken teeth, or loose teeth. 
 If you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, it is very important not to miss your monthly appointments with your dentist or orthodontist. These visits are necessary to adjust braces or aligners so that your treatment progresses correctly and on schedule.

Is dental care covered by EPS? What is included and what is not? 
 In Colombia, many basic dental treatments are covered by the public health system through EPS. Basic coverage usually includes initial evaluations, dental cleanings (prophylaxis), simple tooth extractions, cavity treatments, and some emergency procedures. 
 However, not all treatments are fully covered. More specialized or cosmetic procedures such as orthodontics (braces), smile design, veneers, dental implants, teeth whitening, and advanced restorations are generally not included in the basic plan and must be paid for privately by the patient.
