Our department is committed to providing excellent educational services to our students and delivering the highest standard of preventive and therapeutic procedures for the younger parents and the community. To accomplish this, we incorporated the learning objectives for pediatric dentistry, prevent dentistry, and community dentistry into the undergraduate and graduate curricula of our College.

Through the integration of these specializes – preventive dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and community dentistry – our department endeavors to deliver outstanding educational services while ensuring the best preventive and therapeutic procedures are available for our young patients as well as the wider community.

Our department recognizes the unique needs of pediatric patients. Through specialized training in pediatric dentistry, we are equipped to provide comprehensive dental care for children of all ages. We prioritize creating a comfortable and child-friendly environment that fosters positive dental experiences. By incorporating preventive dentistry into our practices, we can focus on promoting oral health and preventing dental diseases through regular check-ups and patient education. Our goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain optimal oral hygiene. Furthermore, we understand that oral health extends beyond individual patients. Community dentistry plays a vital role in promoting oral health at a population level. By engaging with local communities, we strive to raise awareness about oral hygiene practices and provide access to dental care for underserved populations.
