Message From The HoD
Welcome to the Department of Public Health Dentistry.
Being mindful of the international policies ratified by the Government and recognising the responsibility as an individual and specialist in public health dentistry towards the ratification the department has made certain meaningful attempts to its existence. We have identified our core area to be oral health promotion and oral cancer prevention at the community level. Since then our research focus has been establishing baseline data on social determinants using appropriate tools, connecting social determinants and oral health, the prevalence of OPMD and oral cancer, and identifying region-specific risk factors to strategize interventions.
We at the department emphasise project-based and experiential learning to initiate critical thinking skills among our students. I can strongly quote our very popular community based learning programme, Global Oral Health course, industry visits and field visits. We strongly believe in community partnerships for improving oral health and need for significant training in public health and dental public health. The department has a strong curriculum emphasising on the role of public health dentist within the realms of public health taught by experts in the field. The curriculum is developed to provide wider career opportunities.
If you are looking for an experience to be an effective Public Health Dentist, then this is the place for you. Our committed staff at the department and university will support you through the journey to be a public health dentist who can make a difference.
