An Overview New Advances and Responsibilities in Dental Public Health, Role of Nursing and Radiology Department

Abstract

Professionals in the dental field believed that the promotion of oral health was an essential component of their responsibility as professionals. A patient's participation in the decision-making process and educational activities, as well as the practice and evaluation of skill development, was one of their goals. In spite of the fact that the dental professionals believed that they participated in health promotion activities, they failed to make a clear distinction between disease prevention and oral health promotion. As a result of the fact that radiologists are frequently confronted with dental imaging, whether it be in relation to a specific question, such as a trauma patient, or in relation to incidental findings throughout head and neck imaging, it is more than worthwhile for them to receive additional training in this field in order to facilitate early and adequate dental treatment.
