In order to become or work with a dentist, there are many words you have to know so you can treat oral health problems with the care they deserve. There are many tools, appliances and medical terms you have to study and use, but it’s possible to learn them with plenty of effort. In this dental worksheet, use the pictures and your already existing knowledge to unscramble the words so you can become a dental term expert! When you finish, refer to the answer key to see if you have successfully unscrambled the vocabulary words.

Dentists often use tools like drills, mirrors and floss in order to inspect and take care of your teeth during cleanings. In order to stay hygienic, they wear gloves when putting their fingers in your mouth. For both hygienists and dentists, it is their responsibility to give your teeth and gums a proper cleaning and to educate you on how you can keep your teeth clean when you’re not at the dentist’s office. They want you to avoid developing cavities as much as possible. This prevents you from needing to get a crown on a tooth after a root canal or dentures in the future. Make sure you establish a good dental hygiene routine so your cleanings are a success.

After you complete the dental worksheet, share it with a friend so they can test their dental vocabulary knowledge with these anagrams as well. You now have more knowledge about terms that are important to dentists, and you are more prepared if you want to be a dentist some day! Have clean and healthy teeth by listening to your dentist and maintaining a good routine.
