CHALLENGES:

To discuss the scope and future of dentistry, it is pertinent to discuss the problems.

If one person had bad experience in dental visit they will also think that it might happens to you and postpone the treatment for last minute and then suffered a lot  with price and all. Thereafter, there is also the myth that dental treatments are expensive and will burn a significant hole in the pocket.

2. Lack of awareness: In India there is a lack of spread of knowledge among the general public. India is one of the leading countries for oral cancer and other diseases. Reports state that more than 95% of the population have cavities and other diseases even after regular brushing.

3. Unorganized clinic set ups and pricing; one of the major issue in India is Any average Indian street will have a number of stand-alone dentist clinics. Due to this, there are price wars among clinics. Since there is a general lack of knowledge of dental procedures and pricing, people end up forking a huge amount of money for treatments. Moreover, this leads to  more ethical problems. It not about prices, this may affects the quality of the procedure being conducted.

SOLUTIONS:

The problems faced in dentistry in India is complicated just as solutions for them to. 

1.Creating more jobs to dentists which Just as there are a number of dentists graduating from medical colleges, they should be absorbed in proper jobs. Setting up clinics in not just the urban but also rural areas is a must and it will useful for dentists . There has been some dentists who are going to other countries for better future. The only way to prevent this is to create more jobs.

2.Education and awareness;

There is a great need to educate the general public about dental diseases and treatments. Campaigns need to be created so that people know that dental issues and that it is nothing to be ashamed about. If education can be started at the school level, it would be better.
