Health tends to be appreciated only when it is impaired!!

The concept of dental health originated in India on 1920.  Every fourth Indian is having Gum disease & every second Indian is threatened by it.  In general, there is poor public expenditure on health and very poor allocation for oral health care in particular. In addition, people are reluctant to seek dental care due to Ignorance and negligence.
