India is one of the most favored destinations as far as medical tourism is concerned. Apart from this, due to its cheap and world class dental treatment by skilled professionals, it is gradually emerging as a place of dental tourism as well. A root canal surgery that costs around 400 Euros will cost around 30 euros in India. Similarly, a root canal treatment can cost close to 3000 US dollars in America, but here, it will come at a price tag of mere 100 dollar. A significant difference in costing, isn’t it? Besides this, fillings Crown and Bridges, Implants, Dentures( both partial and complete), Extraction of impacted teeth, Cosmetic Dentistry and Orthodontic Treatment (using braces to correct unequal teeth) are also performed at cost effective prices.
Dental care in children and adults is very important to lead a healthy life. One should, from an early age, learn to take care of our teeth and oral cavity to reduce the chances of these diseases or complications in future. Although kids have milk teeth which they will shed but teaching them to take care of oral health should be inculcated from an early age. If this is not done then they would suffer from tooth decay and gum disease when they grow up and it would be a painful condition then. In adults, people who eat tobacco a lot suffer from decayed teeth. Apart from this, discolouring of teeth is a common problem.
The people of third world countries generally suffer from poor oral hygiene. The government does not have enough funds to help the poor and the middle class does not pay regular visits to a dentist. However, dentists in India are skilled and give services which are value for money and such cases are less and treated effectively in the country.
Missing tooth is a common problem in people of old age. Sometimes, the tooth breaks due to an accident. In such cases, crowns, traditional dentures (metal ceramic and metal free ceramics), crowns and other dental implants are used to fill the gap. Tooth replacement in India is not a very expensive procedure and can be done in one sitting.
