Ouch, Chew This! Half of the people in the world suffer from one of the other forms of oral disease. According to WHO, 50% of the population suffers from some or the other oral disease. Believe it or not, India's dentist-to-population ratio is approximately 1:10,000.
The recommendation by World Health Organisa-tion (WHO) is 1:7,500. The WHO has called for urgent action by incorporating oral health into non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Oral diseases in the world exceed the combined global burden of the next five most prevalent NCDs by almost a billion cases! Yet, oral dental health care continues to be the most neglected area by individuals across the globe.
