There are some jobs that for some reasons people believed that artificial intelligence couldn't take although we have seen other people believe that Ai will take over everything, Elon musk has said one time that there would be Ai handling Ai needs, I may not have put it in his exact word but this was what he meant.
Jobs in the medical field was believed to be a no go area for artificial intelligence like the medical doctors (dentist included), nurses, radiographers, pharmacist and so on, but all that is changing as Ai is learning too fast.
AI will replace many jobs but to my mind, physical jobs will be the least thing replaced and in physical jobs, I mean professions where high levels of knowledge, skill, judgment, and manual labor are combined, like, for example, surgeons, electricians, mechanics, technicians and so on.
These people will be the last to be replaced because in order to replace them, they need to create machines that can understand complex situations and operate with flexibility and precision.

https://x.com/Polymarket/status/2094848260150374768 claims that there is an artificial intelligence enabled toothbrush that is built to basically take care of individuals oral care. Based on the utilities of this toothbrush if it continues to advance could make the work of the dentist go extinct. There are also videos I have seen of artificial intelligence bots training on high pressure brain surgical procedures.
There is no way dentists' works will go extinct. Tooth is not only the part of dental care, it also includes gums. You can also get teeth infected for various reasons, even the perfect oral health care can't protect you from this kind of things, so, dentists are and will be necessary.
