Preventive and Community Dentistry plays a vital role in enhancing public oral health through awareness and proactive care. This specialty focuses on identifying potential dental issues early and providing interventions to prevent their progression. Preventive dentistry involves regular check-ups, cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments to maintain oral health. Community dentistry, on the other hand, addresses larger populations by promoting oral hygiene practices, organizing outreach programs, and ensuring access to affordable care for underserved groups. By combining education with hands-on initiatives, this branch helps reduce the burden of oral diseases while fostering a culture of prevention. Together, these efforts build a foundation for improved quality of life and lifelong oral health.
