dentists
SayDEN-tists/ˈdɛntɪsts/
- 1Plural of dentist.
Many dentists recommend brushing twice a day.
The clinic employs five dentists and a dozen hygienists.
Note
A regular plural that simply adds -s to the singular. The apostrophe is where writers slip: a dentist's chair belongs to one practitioner, while a dentists' conference belongs to many. Online, the same spelling can also be the plural of a deliberate misspelling of Dengist, so in some internet arguments the word is a play on Dengists, not a word about teeth.
