Oral Health is an essential component of public health that reflects the health of the mouth, teeth, gums, and related structures. Good oral health is closely linked to overall health, influencing nutrition, communication, self-esteem, and quality of life. Common oral health conditions include dental caries, periodontal disease, oral infections, and oral cancers. In public health, oral health strategies emphasize prevention through health education, fluoride use, regular screenings, and access to affordable dental care. Oral health disparities are common, particularly among children, older adults, and low-income populations. Integrating oral health into primary healthcare and community programs improves early detection and reduces disease burden. Public health approaches also address risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diets, and poor hygiene. Promoting oral health contributes to reduced healthcare costs, improved wellbeing, and healthier populations across the life course.
