Assistant Professor
Head of Community & Preventive Dentistry
Community & Preventive Dentistry is a discipline in dentistry that focuses on the oral health of populations rather than individual patients. It serves as a key component within oral healthcare, emphasizing the broader societal and public health aspects of dentistry. This field goes beyond traditional clinical practice by incorporating preventive strategies, community outreach, and oral health education. Its mission is to promote and protect oral health at the community level, with a strong focus on disease prevention, health promotion, and equitable access to dental care. Through collaborative efforts with local communities, public health organizations, and educational institutions, the Department of Community & Preventive Dentistry plays a vital role in fostering a comprehensive and inclusive approach to dental health, addressing the multifaceted challenges that impact communities at large.
