Public Health Dentistry

Public Health Dentistry is the branch of Dentistry , which focuses on preventing and controlling dental diseases and promoting dental health through organized community efforts.
Public Health Dentistry is that form of Dental practice that serves the community as a patient rather than the Individual. Public Health Dentists must have broad knowledge and skills in public health administration, research methodology, the prevention and control of oral diseases and the delivery and financing of oral health care.
Public Health Dentists promote oral health by:
  • assessing the oral health needs of the community
  • developing and implementing oral health policy
  • providing programs and services that address oral health issues.

The Focus of Dental Public Health is on good Oral Health, Disease Prevention and other concerns specific to Children, Youth and Seniors.. Most Programs are focusing on Kids and Seniors.
  • For children and youth:
