So Many Dentists & Still So Many Dental Quacks!

An average fresh dental graduate faces a lot of problems.

You the dentist and the reader know all about it .

And these problems are one more factor Quackery Is Still Persisting !

Contributing Factors

Extremely high competition

Higher cost of dental education and higher cost of opening a practice

Low Dental Awareness in the rural area and no one doing anything to raise the awareness.

After spending so much money in education dental graduates just want to work in the city.

Very few ever think about targeting the rural areas. So dental quacks take over.

We are always attending big seminars and CDEs being conducted by various dental organizations. But even after all the show quackery still persists. Why ?

All will give big dialogues on how Rural Health Awareness should be Encouraged. Buy not even one will go to  the village and try to do it. So the quacks take over as the rural patients don’t know much about dental health or treatment. So who’s to blame ? The quacks or the govt or the established docs who neglect the rural areas ?

He has been practicing for many years like this. He says in all the modern clinics the poorest can’t go. Who will reduce their pain. Govt. hospitals don’t treat them well. So they come to me and I help them out. Isn’t this a failure of the Tall Dental Awareness Programmes that the Govt. & Dental bodies claim about.
