Preventive medicine is important in dentistry, as it focuses on preventing oral diseases such as gum disease and oral cancer. Basic strategies include routine dental exams, cleanings, examinations, and teaching patients proper oral hygiene, such as brushing, flossing, and fluoride use. Preventive care emphasizes the importance emphasizing healthy eating, smoking, and early intervention to maintain oral health and avoid more serious dental issues.
The Preventive Medicine World Conference (PRMWC) offers a forum to explore the relationship between preventive medicine and dental care. The conference emphasizes effective strategies for prevention, early detection, and promotion of overall oral health. Experts discuss how adding preventive care to dental care can improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and improve the well-being of individuals and communities.
