Motivation & Insight Into Dentistry 4


How can a dentist work to improve community health?
​

Excellent Candidate Approach
I think that education plays a large part in community health. Therefore, a dentist can be more active in raising awareness of the importance of dental health amongst the general community around the surgery. One way that comes to mind is to visit schools and leisure centres to give talks or demonstrations of toothbrushing. This can help bring oral health to the forefront of the minds of various members of society. Secondly, dentists can train and encourage their team, such as dental nurses or lab technicians, to reach out to the community as well, to increase their reach.
