Correct: surgeon, general practitioner, dentist, orthopedist, etc. (combinations with the application).

Dear Sirs! The following expressions are often found: “doctor-patient system” or “teacher-student system.” Sometimes in these expressions there is a dash (it seems to me that this is correct), and sometimes a hyphen: “doctor-patient system”, “teacher-student system”. This implies the interaction of a doctor with a patient or a teacher with a student, and not that the doctor can simultaneously be a patient, and the teacher can be a student. Which is actually correct?

Question No. 249806 |
Hello, dear employees of “Gramota”! To questions 206956 and 249385. You write that the application located before the word being defined is written separately. However, I haven't found such a rule anywhere. In the textbook by Valgina N.S. “Modern Russian Language” provides examples in which the appendix is located both after the word being defined and before it, and in both cases is joined by a hyphen: “Doctor Hufeland, a miracle doctor sent by the Prussian king, looked in amazement at the woman drowned in pillows, mutilated by the old , long-healed head wounds (Nikul.); And since ancient times, fisherman, hard-working scientists, painters, and poets have been paying tribute to the soul of their beloved to Baikal (Tvard.).” On the website “Russian Dictionaries” (https://www.slovari.ru) I also found the following explanation: “Question. Is it correct to use a hyphen for the combination "mother earth"? Or is a hyphen needed if the word order is changed: “Earth Mother”? Answer. The word being defined with the one-word appendix immediately following it is written with a hyphen, for example: old mother, Masha the playful, Anika the warrior. A hyphen is not written between the defined word and the one-word appendix standing in front of it, which can be equated in meaning to an adjective, for example: handsome son. In your case, the hyphen spelling will be correct: mother-earth and earth-mother.” I think in such cases as “father hedgehog”, etc., you need to proceed from the context, i.e. when we are talking about an animal, then write “daddy hedgehog,” and if about an angry or unshaven person, then “dad-hedgehog” (i.e. daddy is prickly, like a hedgehog). What is your opinion?
Russian help desk response
Of course, context needs to be taken into account. To be honest, the idea of an “unshaven hedgehog dad” occurred to us when preparing an answer to question No. 249385, but we did not voice it.

Is it enough for a healthy person to only have toothpaste and brushes to take care of their teeth, is it really good to chew gum after eating, does sweets really spoil your teeth? We collected the most common myths about dental health and asked GMS Dental dentist Tatyana Anatolyevna Vinogradova which of them is true, and what not.
Sweets are bad for teeth
Is it true. And not only sweets
It all depends on the frequency of consumption of sweets and how long it remains in the mouth. If we quickly swallow one candy, then no disaster will happen - only extra calories will be added. But if we take some toffee, nougat or caramel and chew it for a long time, then this is where the risk of caries appears. When we eat something sweet, the pH environment in the mouth changes - it becomes more acidic, this worsens the condition of the teeth, they weaken and deteriorate faster. But, unfortunately, even a complete abstinence from sweets does not guarantee the absence of dental problems. Almost any food has a negative effect on teeth. Therefore, ideally, you should brush your teeth after every meal.
If the application itself is written with a hyphen
We continue to consider the nuances of writing applications with defined words. A new case is if the defined noun or application is itself written with a hyphen. For example, “women surgeons.”
And here we have a real problem. Because Rosenthal says that in such cases the second hyphen is not written, and in addition to “women surgeons” he gives examples: civil engineer designer, boiler fitter installer, mechanical engineer designer, Volga Mother River, hero pilot- fighter.
And Lopatin’s reference book indicates that a dash should be used:
In combination with an application, if one of the parts, in turn, is a combination with an application and contains a hyphen, for example: a story about a medical student - a mountaineer; meeting with a friend - an amateur chess player; with a neighbor who is a science fiction writer.
In terms of form, the “female surgeon doctors” from Rosenthal’s examples are the same as the “medical student-climber” from Lopatin’s examples, and the “hero fighter pilot” is the same as “a friend – an amateur chess player.”
And although the current Rules of Russian Spelling and Punctuation contain the following note 2 to paragraph 14 § 79 in the section “Spellings continuous and with a hyphen (dash)”:
If the word or application being defined is itself written with a hyphen, then a hyphen is not written between them, for example: Social Democrats, Mensheviks.
— “Gramota.ru” adheres to the position of the Complete Academic Directory, ed. Lopatina. When asked how to write correctly: “obstetrician-gynecologist” or “obstetrician-gynecologist,” the portal’s help service answers that the correct way is with a dash.
So, we can assume that a new norm has been established in the Russian language, and recommend using a dash in cases where the application itself is written with a hyphen. Schematically:
- “doctor” (common noun) + “dental surgeon” (an application that is written with a hyphen, because it, in turn, also contains a noun - “dentist” - and an application - “surgeon”) = doctor - dental surgeon ;
- “corrector-reader” (noun “corrector” with the application “reader”) + “professional” (addition to the first combination) = proofreader-reader - professional.
Looks like we've sorted it out.
But then some “online doctor” or “practitioner business coach” appears - and you need to think again, because the parts “online consultant” and “business coach” are not nouns with applications. These are complex words with the first part “online” and “business” remaining unchanged. And such cases are not mentioned in Lopatin’s reference book.
But the above-cited instructions from Rosenthal’s reference book and the current Rules of Russian Orthography allow for a broader interpretation: they speak not only about applications, but also in general about words that themselves are written with a hyphen. The Rules, for example, even contain just such a word: “Social-Democratic Mensheviks.” “Social Democrats” is also a complex word with the unchangeable first part “social-”. Therefore, it turns out that in the cases of “online consultants” and “business coaches” the second word should be written separately:
- business coach practitioner - the defined word “business coach” is itself written with a hyphen, which means that a second hyphen is not needed;
- doctor online consultant - the “online consultant” application is written with a hyphen, which means the second hyphen is not needed.
However, as they say, I am tormented by vague doubts... What if, after all, I don’t try to be clever, but apply a newer rule from the academic reference book for these cases? For uniformity. Then:
business coach - practitioner, doctor - online consultant.
This option is good because the words are perceived as connected. And the formal basis for a dash is that one of the words has a hyphen. Even if it is not specified (yet?) in later rules.

Chewing gum is good for your teeth
Is it true. But with reservations
Chewing gum works like an apple - it cleans your teeth. But you can snack on an apple, but not on chewing gum. In addition, it is important when you chew gum and how long you do it. If the gum does not contain sugar and you chew it for two or three minutes after eating, then yes, it is rather useful, it will clean your teeth and promote digestion. If you chew gum often, for a long time, or instead of eating, you can cause great harm to the stomach; in this case, the benefits for teeth are in doubt.
Dental treatment is a modern business
Before the first modern dentistry appeared, people suffered from toothache and lost teeth all the time. Broken, darkened or crooked teeth often spoiled the appearance of the Old people who were left without teeth had nothing to eat, and they died prematurely from malnutrition. Now, through modern dentistry, most people can avoid toothache, protect their teeth into old age and have a beautiful smile. How did modern medicine achieve these three great goals?
Dental prevention will help us protect our health and strong teeth, that is, always keep our teeth clean and don’t forget to go for a check-up with the dentist. Individuals have learned to be observant of oral hygiene and therefore require treatment occasionally. And yet, some people do not go to the doctor, although they need his help. Some people think that this is not necessary, while others are scared by the prices. And still others are simply afraid of dentists. To understand the importance of preventive measures, you need to know what dentistry treats us for.
If your teeth look healthy in appearance and don’t bother you, then you don’t have to go to the doctor
Not true
This is our mentality: until something hurts, few people go to the doctor. And this applies not only to dentistry. This behavior is partly due to Soviet medicine, which is used to scare everyone. Partly, people simply don’t know where to go, don’t trust the doctor, are afraid to find out something unpleasant, and don’t want to spend money. But, of course, it is better to check regularly. You need to go to the dentist once every six months for hygienic cleaning, during which the doctor will use a special device to remove the plaque that you cannot remove at home and conduct a preventive examination of your teeth and oral cavity. This will allow any possible problems to be noticed and treated at an early stage and thus save money and time. After all, the longer you live with a problem, the longer and more expensive it will be to treat it.
Doctor dentist therapist how to spell correctly
How to write correctly: general practitioner or general practitioner, dental general practitioner or dental general practitioner, dental general practitioner or dental general practitioner?
After completing their studies at Nizhny Novgorod State Medical Academy, graduates of the dental faculty can receive a variety of specialties. But what is the correct name for these specialists?
A particular problem is caused by the names of specialties that coincide with the names of specialties of graduates of the Faculty of Medicine, for example, the word “therapist” can refer to both a dentist and a general practitioner.
A graduate of the Faculty of Medicine receives specialties: general practitioner, gastroenterologist, dermatologist , etc. (this spelling occurs in accordance with the grammatical rule when a single clause is attached to the word being defined by a hyphen). There is a case when the hyphen disappears: general practitioners and dermatologists.
A graduate of the Faculty of Dentistry is also a doctor and can also be a therapist, but he is a dentist, so he must write the dash sign.
doctor - dentist-therapist.
In another situation, when the word “doctor” is not written, you should write it the same way: dentist-therapist, dentist-surgeon .
Ah, I absolutely don’t care how your specialty is spelled.
