Dental Care in Public Health focuses on promoting oral health and preventing dental diseases at the population level. Oral health is closely linked to overall health, as conditions such as dental caries, gum disease, and oral infections can affect nutrition, speech, and quality of life. Public health dental programs emphasize prevention through oral hygiene education, fluoride use, school-based dental screenings, and community outreach initiatives. These programs aim to reduce inequalities by improving access to affordable dental care, especially for children, older adults, and underserved populations. Surveillance systems help monitor oral disease trends and identify high-risk groups. Policies supporting safe drinking water fluoridation and integration of oral health into primary healthcare are key strategies. By focusing on prevention, early detection, and health education, dental care in public health helps reduce the burden of oral diseases and supports lifelong oral and general well-being.
