Human dentistry is a completely different practice, although it also involves the health care of teeth. In human beings, there are far more problems that can be associated with poor oral hygene than in animals, as an animal will generally perform instinctual tasks in order to keep their teeth clean. Human beings must regularly visit a dentist who will clean their teeth and make sure there are no health issues that need to be addressed. Make sure that you visit your local dentist regularly.
