What makes oral health a high priority in public health is its universal nature. “It’s a neglected epidemic,” says Dr. Myron Allukian Jr., DDS, MPH. Almost everyone has had at least one oral disease, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, malocclusion, infections or cancer at some time during his or her life.
Public health dentists practice at the local, state and federal levels as well as in academic environments. The Four major areas of oral public health are ; Health Policy and administration; research; oral health promotion and disease prevention; and delivery systems. Policy work includes such dissimilar concerns as developing dental programs for low-income communities and making recommendations for the state dental practice act.
Dr. Allukian’s days are busy and demanding — and, he admits, “sometimes overwhelming.” But what he loves about his work “is that it’s extremely exciting and challenging. And the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people is personally enriching.”

Indeed, dental health is a neglected epidemic. My Chandler dentist once mentioned that there's a risk in ignoring simple dental problems, such as mouth ulcer or toothache, as These occurrences can be a symptom to a more grievous disease. I doff my hat to you and your team for providing dental help to the public and raising awareness about proper dental hygiene.
