• Conduct dental procedures, including scaling, polishing, and extractions.
• Manage and stabilize urgent and emergency cases as they arise.
• Contribute to treatment planning, medical decision-making, and continuity of care.
• Offer rehabilitation services and support general patient recovery plans.
