The Department of Public Health Dentistry is committed to delivering preventive oral healthcare services to patients, recognizing the increasing importance of prevention in dental health. Our primary focus lies in devising effective strategies to enhance the dental well-being of the population, particularly in underserved areas lacking basic oral healthcare facilities. To bridge this gap, we actively engage in outreach activities.

Moreover, the department plays a pivotal role in training undergraduate students in oral disease prevention and control, as well as promoting oral health through community initiatives. We encourage students to hone their abilities in identifying societal health issues, conducting health surveys, offering health education, and devising strategies to address these concerns. This approach fosters a positive and empathetic outlook among students towards societal health challenges, instilling a sense of responsibility for improving community health.

Additionally, we operate a tobacco cessation center to aid individuals in quitting tobacco use, encompassing both smoking and smokeless forms. Our Mobile Dental Van reaches various parts of the East-Godavari district, specifically targeting rural populations, school children, individuals with special healthcare needs, and the elderly. Through this initiative, we provide a range of treatments including oral prophylaxis, restorations, emergency root canal procedures, and extractions. Furthermore, satellite dental clinics have been established in Visranthipuram and Dowaleswaram to address the oral health needs of village populations.
