Professionals who treat teeth and gums (8)

I believe the answer is:

dentists

(Other definitions for dentists that I've seen before include "Orthodontists, periodontists etc." , "Tooth doctors" , "They care for teeth" , "Professional carers for teeth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
