Preventive and Community Dentistry is a vital branch of dentistry focused on the prevention and control of dental diseases while promoting oral health through organized community efforts. The department plays a crucial role in preventing oral diseases by raising awareness through health education programs tailored for various populations.
Actively engaged in providing dental care to underserved communities, the department conducts free dental treatment camps that offer essential dental services and distribute medications to those in need. Collaborating with voluntary organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the department participates in various community initiatives to enhance dental care access.
Recognizing that healthy children are the foundation of a thriving society, the department emphasizes the importance of early intervention. To promote oral health among children, it organizes school dental health programs, which include screenings and educational sessions.
