Public health dentistry, also called community and preventive dentistry, is the branch of dentistry that focuses on preventing oral disease, promoting oral health awareness and understanding the oral health needs of communities, rather than only treating individual teeth. In everyday practice it supports regular check-ups, good brushing and diet habits, fluoride use and early detection of problems.
Brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth daily, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and visit a dentist for regular check-ups and cleaning so problems are found early. See our general dental care in Indore or book a check-up at Dental Planet.
