A specialty of dentistry known as “Public Health Dentistry” is dedicated to the study and practise of avoiding oral disease, maintaining oral health, and enhancing people’s quality of life through collective social action.
This type of dental education prioritises the public’s dental health education and treats the community as a whole rather than treating individuals. It is based on community-based prevention and control of dental diseases and group dental care programme administration, both of which are areas of applied dental research.
The department is actively involved in the training of the undergraduate students. One of the core pillars in community dentistry is community engagement and outreach projects. These visits allow students to engage with the communities and identify their needs through practical and relevant research projects, offer disadvantaged communities oral health services, something many of them cannot afford and improve students’ clinical skills.
We facilitate high-quality research in support of oral health improvement and are involved in multi-professional health care teams such as clinicians, behavioural scientists, and statisticians to promote the health of society.
