stomatologiste

Medical - Medical: Dentistry / Paediatric Dentistry
French term or phrase: stomatologiste
"Le dispositif consiste à proposer un examen de prévention bucco-dentaire à réaliser au cabinet par les chirurgiens-dentistes et les stomatologistes conventionnés en exercice libéral ou salarié."

The quote appears in a journal article explaining a dental examination programme introduced in France. I have figured out that a stomatologiste is not dental surgeon as this has been listed separately beforehand. However, translating this as stomatologist is not meaningful in the UK as this would be referred to as oral medicine. Also, why would someone working in this field be carrying out paediatric dental examinations? Is there a difference between France and UK for how paediatric dentistry works?

Notes to answerer
Asker: I found that option on Linguee however when I researched a stomatologist in France, it says that they are specialists in stomatology: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/metadata/Annexes/hlth_res_esms_an2.pdf I also found that they tend to have studied a medical course but do not have the required academic skills in conservative and prosthetic dentistry: https://educalingo.com/en/dic-fr/stomatologue
