Hello,
I've been trying to find the difference between these two words for "dentist." Which word would I use during introduction? Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Hi:) I think 'haisha' is more casual than 'shikai'
And if you want to introduce to children, you can say' haisha San'.

When compared in "Kanji" easier for understanding.
歯科医(shi-ka-i) 歯医者(ha-i-sya)
歯(ha) means teeth. 歯科(shi-ka) means dental. 医者(i-sya) means "doctor/surgeon" 医 means short of 医者.
So 歯科医 means "doctor of dental(clinc or division of large hospital)". 歯医者 means "doctor of teeth" even able to understand as children. Also 歯医者さん(haisya-san) means "dental clinic" include "go to hospital".
ex) A : どこに行ってたの?(doko-ni itte-ta-no?) Where have you been? B : 新しく出来た歯医者さんだよ。(atarasiku dekita haisya-san da-yo.) Went to new opened dental clinc.
