Is Dentistry in Crisis ?


Are there too many dentists? No dental surgeon who are willing to travel to district level places and practice are doing very well. The villages of india also require the dental surgeon to go and settle down , in fact many dentists in maharashtra and gujrat who went to the villages ended up being the overall health care people of that area, many have started their full fledged hospitals and employed other mbbs doctors and created a center for health service in remote areas. This photograph shows oral cancer awareness camp being done in remote village in Rajasthan called as tala mode region about 45 kms from Jaipur. Oral Cancer education and toludine blue staining on the site was done. The cases detected were then biopsied the next day in camp itself !! there is so much work to be done in India we have just scratched the surface.
If any one of you is working in remote village areas I need to contact you and maybe meet you.
