Dentists require specific tools and materials to perform their duties effectively.
These tools and materials include equipment for examining patients' teeth and gums, such as dental mirrors and explorers; instruments for cleaning and preparing teeth, such as scalers and curettes; and materials for filling cavities and repairing teeth, such as amalgam and composite resin. In addition to these basic tools and materials, dentists may also use specialized equipment, such as X-ray machines and lasers, to help them diagnose and treat dental problems.
