What is stomatology?

Stomatology mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of oral and maxillofacial diseases, and carries out the diagnosis, treatment, repair, prevention and health care of common and frequently-occurring oral diseases. For example: the filling of dental caries, the extraction of wisdom teeth, the implantation of false teeth, the correction of teeth, the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases such as oral ulcers and periodontitis.
