A significant public health issue, oral illnesses are becoming more prevalent in many low- and middle-income nations. Through preventative and therapeutic treatments, dental public health (DPH) seeks to enhance the general population's oral health. However, due to the DPH staff's inexperience and lack of proficiency, its successes in India are being questioned. Several search engines and electronic databases, including PubMed and MEDLINE, were used in the literature search for the current investigation. The Central and State Governments of India's documents were also taken into consideration. Finally, 28 papers that contain pertinent material were chosen for the current study. The current study focuses on some of the significant DPH-related issues in India, including the importance of oral health, the DPH workforce and curriculum, the employment of DPH staff in primary oral health care, the function of mobile dentistry vans, and DPH research. It was decided that by hiring more public health dentists in the public sector, bolstering DPH education and research, and integrating oral health programs with general health-care programs, more emphasis should be placed on preventative dental health care.
