Dental specialties

This is a list of dental specialties just as the article name implies. However, it just so happens that this list is already covered under Dentistry as shown here. Shoessss | Chat  20:51, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep: dental specialties vary by jurisdiction and there are important legal consequences for those dentists who claim to be a specialist. the list on the dentistry article is complete for USA, but lacking for those in the EU where EU law defines the specialties. I imagine the situation for dental specialists is legally complex elsewhere in the world, and would merit a seperate page to outline the different specialties by jurisdiction.

 * Redirect per Flyguy. Kudos to Shoessss for spotting the origin of the article.  This page was either created because someone thought that Dentistry was too big an article, or the information has been merged back into the parent article in anticipation of a deletion.  It's not so large a table that it has to exist separately.  Mandsford (talk) 04:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. The section doesn't have to be spun out of the main article to include information on specialties in specific jurisdictions. And certainly we wouldn't want to add that information only to a sub-article, leaving the section in the main article Americentric. If the content grows disproportionately large it can be appropriately spun out in summary style. Someguy1221 (talk) 04:52, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
