Oral health prevention is a key component of public health, where nurses play a crucial role through health education, early risk identification, and community-based interventions.

This event focuses on the practical contribution of nurses to oral health prevention and the reduction of disease burden.

Key topics include:

• nursing assessment and identification of oral health risks
• patient education and promotion of oral hygiene practices

The session will include case-based discussion and practical examples, highlighting real-life applications of preventive care in nursing practice.

The event aims to strengthen the role of nurses in preventive health care and to promote effective, accessible, and sustainable approaches to oral health within public health systems.
