KOPM (Korean Oral and Preventive Medicine)

KOPM, or Korean Oral and Preventive Medicine, is a specialized field focused on maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues. It emphasizes early detection, education, and the application of techniques to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Practitioners in this field combine knowledge of oral biology, preventive strategies, and patient care to promote overall dental wellness. Their goal is to reduce the need for extensive treatments through proactive care, promoting healthier smiles and improved quality of life by emphasizing prevention rather than solely treating existing conditions.
