Abstract :
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.
