Scope of Dental Insurance In India
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Dental health insurance is taken very seriously in the western world. However, in India, it is still in its nascent stage with very few insurance companies providing the service. Dental insurance in India is mostly clubbed with health insurance and available under the general health insurance plans. Even with the available options, generally the costs arising due to a dental emergency/ accidents are covered, whereas routine dental ailments are usually left out. There exists a surging need for Government and private organizations to formulate extensive plans towards providing easy and affordable dental insurance schemes. Prevention and timely interception is the only possible way to limit progression of dental disease and escalated treatment costs. We will look into the current status, shortcomings and scope of dental insurance in India.
