According to a survey 2.4 million Indians die of treatable conditions every year. And the reason to this is lack of information and unwillingness of the segment of the society  to avail good healthcare. Oral care is one of the most important yet the most ignored part of the health routine of common people.

THE PROBLEM:
Indians are largely affected by dental problems like – dental caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer.
According to ministry of health and family welfare, dental caries affects about 60% and periodontal disease about 85% of the Indian population.
“The problem of dental diseases is more severe in rural areas because of inaccessibility to dental professionals. Lack of dental infrastructure and public hospitals is also a worrisome situation as it makes even the simple dental procedures unavailable to the common man who then has to bear the treatment from out of his pocket expenses. In such a situation he is usually forced to get his tooth extracted as this seems to be relatively cheaper without any awareness of the associated morbidity”

In India lot of tobacco is consumed every year, a leading cause of oral cancer. “India has the highest number of oral cancers in the world with 75,000 to 76,000 new cases every year.
According to government estimates, more than 75% of school children are suffering from dental caries and more than 85% of the adult population is affected by periodontal disease.
According to the draft National Oral Health Policy 2018, the prevalence and recurrence of oral diseases in India is a silent epidemic. There has no improvement in oral health status of Indian population in the past three decades.

Oral disorders have remained the most prevalent disease group in India over the past three decades affecting almost 66.7 crore (49.2% in comparison to 43.2 crore; 50.2%) people in 2017. Different oral conditions such as untreated caries of permanent teeth, untreated caries of deciduous teeth and severe periodontitis have a significant burden affecting 43.2 crores (32%), 11.2 crores (8.3%) and 18.1 crores (13.3%) people in India. Despite the scale of the problem, only 12.4% of adults have ever got their oral cavity examined by a dentist, the draft National Oral Health Policy 2018 notes.
We all know that poor dental care causes tooth decay, unwanted stains, bad breath and tooth loss, poor oral and dental hygiene may lead to serious health problems.
mouth and body are integral to each other as one’s mouth is a window into what's going on in the rest of the body , poor oral hygiene is also linked to heart diseases, diabetes, pregnancy complications.
“Bacteria present in gum diseases enter the blood stream and this in turn increases the risk of heart attacks, poorly controlled diabetes, respiratory diseases and dementia. Research has also shown that a diseased mouth may contribute to immune system disorders and preterm birth. Also, there are many general health conditions such as AIDS and skin diseases which often first manifest in the mouth
