Public health dentistry is the only specialization in dentistry which deals in detail about the influence of environment on health. The environment which surrounds us has a profound influence not only on the health of the individual but also on the community. Incidentally, environmental consciousness forms the crux of environmental scientist role, which makes it necessary for a public health dentist to get adequate training to perform green audit, energy audit and environmental audit. Thus, it can also be made a part of the public health dentistry curriculum. Newer prospects for emerging public health dentists to work as environmental scientists can be incorporated as these fields have gain expertise and momentum. Due to a public health dentists’ knowledge of both the ideas relating to the environment and health as well as the dynamic interactions between these two elements, a public health dentist would be a good fit for the position of an environmental scientist. |
