Public Health Dental Hygiene

Public Health Dental Hygiene focuses on promoting oral health and preventing dental problems within communities. It involves education, screenings, and interventions to improve oral hygiene habits, reduce disease risk, and ensure access to oral healthcare services for all populations. Dental hygienists working in this field often collaborate with schools, clinics, and community organizations to raise awareness, provide preventive care like cleanings and fluoride treatments, and address disparities in oral health. The goal is to improve overall community health by fostering lifelong healthy dental practices and reducing oral disease prevalence across diverse populations.
