Health Sciences Dental Preventive and Community Dentistry

Preventive Dentistry and Public Dental Health encompass basic and applied sciences to improve the dental health status of the community and prevent oral and dental diseases in society. With a field of study that covers not only individuals but entire populations, there is a need for organized community efforts in specific protection initiatives and promotion of dental and oral health, empowering communities to enhance the dental and oral health status of entire families, communities, and populations in a region.
