Oral Epidemiology and Public Health Dentistry

Oral Epidemiology and Public Health Dentistry play a crucial role in understanding the distribution of dental diseases across populations. By studying patterns and risk factors, oral epidemiology helps in identifying trends and disparities in oral health, allowing for effective intervention strategies. Public Health Dentistry focuses on promoting oral health at the community level, emphasizing prevention, education, and access to care. These fields work together to reduce the burden of oral diseases, ensuring that all communities have access to quality dental care and preventive services. The aim is to improve overall oral health outcomes, reduce health inequalities, and enhance the quality of life for diverse populations.
