Unfortunately, rules always have exceptions. Dentista is one of these exceptions. Dentista is the word for both male and female dentists, except for the fact that you change the word for ‘the’. El dentista for a male dentista, la dentista for a female one. Did you know you could receive the word of the day into your email inbox?
