In rural areas people never went to dentist and they not even know about the problems in oral cavity.

About half of popullation does not use toothpaste and tooth brush for brushing teeth and 51% popullation brush their teeth with toothpaste and tooth brush. Nearly 28% people brush their teeth twice and 34% people believe in brushing teeth once a day.

Moreover 65 % people have no idea that eating habits can cause dental problems.

Lack of awareness is a serious issue in india specially in rural areas. only handfull of people across the country takes oral healthcare seriously.for the most part indians only approach to a dentist when faced with serious problems or after reaching 40.

Oral health is very important because digestive system begins from mouth and mouth is only place from where we can keep bacteria out by keeping it clean. People generally do not understant intimate connection batween oral health and overall health.

Oral health is most important but people take it for granted. Periodontitist patient can also have a high risk of coronary artery because bacteria can enter into blood stream while brushing and chewing which cause formation of clot in the arteries leads to heartattack.
