Dental Public Health is a field that centers on the management of oral diseases and the promotion of health through community-based initiatives. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 50% of the global population is afflicted by various oral diseases. Challenges pertaining to accessibility and funding plague oral health services, demanding substantial governmental attention.
The WHO's oral health strategy is geared towards attaining comprehensive oral health coverage for all individuals by 2030. Consequently, numerous challenges lie ahead for the upcoming years. These challenges encompass a spectrum of public health actions, spanning upstream, midstream, and downstream efforts, with a pronounced focus on the initial stages.
It is imperative for dental professionals to equip themselves with the requisite skills to excel in this domain. Researchers are encouraged to share their valuable experiences and best practices to this Special Issue, shedding light on effective practices and insights. The original epidemiological and health services research that could translate the knowledge into dental public health actions to overcome challenges in this area is welcome to this section.
