Doctor for teeth and gums
A doctor who cares for your teeth and gums.
الگوی کاربرد:
[someone] goes to the dentist
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes forget to use 'the' before 'dentist' in general visit phrases, saying *'I go to dentist twice a year'* instead of natural '*I go to the dentist twice a year*.' Another confusion is using 'dental' as a noun, e.g. *'I will see my dental'*; use 'dentist' for the person and 'dental' as an adjective (dental clinic, dental care).

tooth doctor (Informal and less common; often used in simple or humorous speech.)

Dentist’s office or clinic
The place where you go to see the dentist.
الگوی کاربرد:
[someone] is at the dentist
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may think 'I am at the dentist' only means 'I am next to the dentist (person)' and not understand that it usually means 'I am at the dentist's office.' This use is similar to 'at the doctor' or 'at the hairdresser.'
هممعنیها
dental clinic (More explicit about being a medical facility; often used in signs and formal writing.)
|
dentist's office (Common phrase that clearly refers to the place, not the person.)
متضادها
at home (Contrasts being at the dental clinic with being in one’s own place, often in everyday scheduling talk.)
