Dental diseases are the most prevalent and the most neglected of all the chronic diseases affecting mankind and in country after country. We are still falling behind in our efforts to protect people's oral health, and we still undoubtedly continue to fail until we begin to use the fullest of all methods available to us for the prevention of oral diseases. In a developing country like Nepal, oral diseases are one of the common problems of health due to lack of education and awareness. More than 75% of the population is deprived of oral health services and education. And in this context, rural people are the more sufferers due tos added disadvantage of low accessibility to information, health services, transportation etc.

Kantipur School of Dentistry and Dental Hospital (KSD and DH), the first dental school in Nepal, was established in 1977 A.D with the support from a Japanese NGO Buddhi Bangara, to bridge the exiting gap between the dental health care need of the people and the dental service providers in the country. The technical support by the Buddhi Bangara Japan makes KSD and DH a highly professional school of dentistry with the finest and skillful hands that have been committed to provide quality oral health services and education.
