Quackery: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Dental disease being one of the most prevalent diseases in the community has been overlooked by the population for long. Dental treatment & profession has developed & modernized significantly in the last 2 to 3 decades. From being a family based business performed by unskilled and untrained profession al it has evolved to highly specialized & skilled profession performed by skilled and specialized dental professionals. Huge mismatch in dentist to population ratio especially in rural area together with high dental treatment cost, illiteracy, absence of any form of health insurance has led to increased number of dental quacks performing dental treatment in most unhygienic, unsterilized and unconventional manner. They are easily available and low treatment cost draws the innocent and illiterate patients to them. The government has to intervene and take measures to make dental treatment more affordable and accessible to the rural population in particular
