Explanation

A dentist is a medical professional who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity, particularly the teeth and gums. The prefix 'dento-' specifically refers to teeth. A masseur provides massage therapy, a caption is a title or heading, and an admiral is a high-ranking naval officer - none of these relate to dental care.
