The introduction highlights the emergence of preventive dentistry since the 1960s and discusses disparities in oral health, particularly for children in lower-income families. It addresses challenges in senior oral care, including medication-related concerns. Emphasis is placed on early dental visits for children and the importance of early detection of oral cancer, especially given the increased risk associated with tobacco use.
