Examples of public health dentistry programs include community water fluoridation, school-based dental sealant programs, and oral health education campaigns. Public health dentists may also work in research, policy development, and advocacy to improve oral health outcomes on a broader scale.

Overall, public health dentistry plays a critical role in promoting oral health and preventing dental diseases, particularly among vulnerable populations.
