subject: The Dental Way [print this page] Many Puneites do not usually pay attention to dental care and hygiene. However, this scenario is slowly changing. People are slowly realizing the importance of dental hygiene and the impact it can have on one's health. That is why more people visiting their local dental clinic in Pune.
The impact of television and the Internet has helped Puneites become more aware of dental health. This impact has can even be seen in various fields. Recently, the India Union Cabinet gave approval to construct a Southern Command military dental centre and hospital. The main aim of the centre is to provide dental care in varied specialities to Army personnel, ex-servicemen, and civilians. The Cabinet has given approval for an estimated cost of Rs. 382.37 crore. While this may be a small example, it still proves the fact that dental care is finally being given importance.
Due to this continual growth, dental brands abroad are also seeing potential in the Indian market. Many European dental brands are setting up international dental clinics in Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and New Delhi. This is also because India is one of the most popular dental tourism destinations.
This may be good news for the country and for the dental industry in general, but how do families benefit? The ease of availability of fast food and carbonated drinks has led to the younger generation having many dental problems. However, parents are taking the advice of their family dentists. They are making themselves aware about dental hygiene and passing on this information to their children.
Dentists and orthodontists in Pune are also doing their bit. They are keeping themselves abreast of the latest technologies, methodologies, and products that are coming into the market. By offering better products and services, they not only elevate their respective practices, they also help patients discipline themselves in terms of dental hygiene.
A similar scenario is being seen with international medical companies. They are coming out with long lasting and effective dental products that will benefit patients in the long run. For example, many companies are coming out with eco-friendly dental products. The Eco-Dentistry Association in USA is also encouraging dental professionals to make their clinics eco-friendly by using green dental supplies, products, and equipment. One may surely see such products making their way into India as well.
The growth of the dental industry in India shows that there is immense potential and that a lot more can be done. All we need to do is be aware, take the right steps, and benefit from living a healthy oral lifestyle.
