Dentistry is a branch of medicine that is involved in the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa, and of adjacent and related structures and tissues, particularly in the maxillofacial (jaw and facial) area.

Although primarily associated with teeth among the general public, the field of dentistry or dental medicine is not limited to teeth but includes other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temperomandibular and other supporting structures.

The term dentistry comes from odontology (from Ancient Greek ὀδούς (odoús, "tooth")) – the study of the structure, development, and abnormalities of the teeth.

Because of their substantial overlap in concept, dentistry is often also understood to subsume the now largely defunct medical specialty of stomatology (the study of the mouth and its disorders and diseases) for which reason the two terms are used interchangeably in certain regions.

Kansas is a U.S. state located in the Midwestern United States.

Its capital is Topeka and its largest city is Wichita.

Kansas is named after the Kansa Native American tribe, which inhabited the area.

The tribe's name (natively ') is often said to mean "people of the wind" or "people of the south wind", although this was probably not the term's original meaning.

For thousands of years, what is now Kansas was home to numerous and diverse Native American tribes.

Tribes in the eastern part of the state generally lived in villages along the river valleys.

Tribes in the western part of the state were semi-nomadic and hunted large herds of bison.
