Public Health Dentistry

Oral diseases are a major public health issue in many low- and middle-income nations, and their prevalence is on the rise. Dental Public Health (DPH) is a dental speciality that focuses on the prevention of oral illness and the promotion of good oral health. Dental public health is concerned with identifying critical dental health problems and developing practical solutions to improve the dental health of populations rather than individuals. The goal of dental public health (DPH) is to enhance the population's oral health by providing preventive and therapeutic services. By directing resources to priority regions, dental public health aims to lessen demand on health-care systems.
