Dentistry On The Move

Oral Healthcare services across Rural India are still in poor shape. Oral diseases affect the overall health of an individual. India is the second-largest consumer of Tobacco in the world, which is linked to seventeen different kinds of cancer. Inaccessibility to urban areas, financial instability and lack of awareness increase the problem manifold. The Covid pandemic has made reaching the unreached much more complex, thus affecting health problems heavily.

Each One Reach One has been our mode of operation for the last 10 years. Dental clinics in every taluka and village are not possible and farmers find little time to leave their crops and visit these centres. We plan to have a Mobile/Portable Dental Unit so that we can cover all these areas and provide qualitative, affordable dental care to all. A child whose parents can't get him to the hospital, a pregnant woman, a farmer busy with his crop, a village elderly or a differently-abled person, all deserve good Healthcare services.

Any healthcare problems, when addressed in time, go a long way in preventing life-threatening conditions. The primary dental problems can be treated at the doorstep of the villagers. Patients with more complex problems can be guided and directed to higher health care facilities in nearby towns. One single dental unit can provide, a measurable, beneficial and long term impact on the oral health of individuals of all age groups. The Covid-19 pandemic has made travelling increasingly difficult for everyone. Healthcare services can reach the patient instead of patients running from pillar to post, and increasing their exposure to the virus.
