Definition of dental

dentaladjective

nha khoa

/ˈdentl//ˈdentl/

The word "dental" originates from the Latin word "dentem," meaning "tooth" or "jawbone." In medieval Latin, the word "dens" was used to refer to a tooth, and it was later adapted into Middle English as "dent." The suffix "-al" was added to create the adjective "dental," meaning "relating to the teeth." The word "dental" first appeared in English in the 14th century and was initially used to describe dental anatomy and physiology. Over time, the term has expanded to encompass not only the study of teeth but also the field of dentistry, including dental care, treatments, and procedures. Today, the word "dental" is widely used in various contexts, from scientific journals to everyday conversation.
