Department Overview

The Department of Public Health Dentistry provides students with a comprehensive learning experience, including clinical case discussions, field visits, project assignments, seminars, and innovative teaching methods. Emphasis is placed on activity-based and active learning to enhance practical skills and critical thinking.

Public health dentistry focuses on preventing oral diseases at the community level, encompassing various preventive measures through community dental programs. The department takes charge of planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating these initiatives. Dental public health measures such as School Dental health screening, education, pit and fissure sealant application, and fluoride mouth rinsing are emphasized. Outreach programs, like dental camps and the Mobile Dental Unit (MDU) – 'Dentistry on wheels,' reach underserved areas, providing vital dental care. Two peripheral dental health care centers at Ponnai and Kuttipuram offer valuable clinical exposure to interns, contributing to community oral health. This commitment to promoting oral health and community-based care empowers the next generation of dental professionals in public health dentistry.
