dental office
Where cavities vanish
A dental office is a facility where dentists examine and treat patients' teeth and gums.
The term is standard in American English; British English prefers dental surgery or dental practice.
I have an appointment at the dental office tomorrow.
The phrase typically refers to private practices rather than hospital dental departments.
