Dental Public Health

Dental public health is a field that focuses on promoting oral health and preventing dental diseases at a population level. It involves assessing the oral health needs of communities, implementing oral health programmes and policies, and advocating for improved access to dental care. Dental public health professionals work to address disparities in oral health outcomes, promote oral health education and prevention, and monitor and evaluate oral health trends in populations. They collaborate with community organisations, policymakers, and healthcare professionals to develop strategies that improve oral health outcomes and promote overall well-being. Dental public health plays a vital role in ensuring the oral health of communities and fostering preventive care practises.
