Public Health Dentistry focuses on improving oral health at the population level through prevention, education, and community-based interventions. Oral health is closely linked to overall health, influencing nutrition, speech, social wellbeing, and chronic disease outcomes. Public health dentistry addresses issues such as dental caries, periodontal disease, oral cancers, and access to dental care, particularly among children, older adults, and underserved populations. Strategies include fluoridation programs, school-based dental services, oral health promotion, and surveillance of oral disease patterns. Public health dentists also contribute to policy development, workforce planning, and integration of oral health into primary healthcare. By emphasizing prevention and early intervention, public health dentistry reduces avoidable dental disease, healthcare costs, and health inequalities, supporting improved quality of life and overall population health.
