Dental care is not often a priority for many Indians. It’s not surprising, therefore, that a large percentage of the Indian population suffers from oral disorders like periodontal disease, tooth decay, and oral cancer. While the last requires advanced treatment that goes beyond dentistry, the former two and other conditions can be addressed by dental treatment. To help people get the care they need during these pandemic times, a new breed of dental experts is making treatment available to people who would otherwise not have access. They are bringing dental care right to the doorstep of patients through easy on-call bookings, affordable pricing, and access to a range of treatments.
Benefits of At-home Dental Care Services
- Reducing the need to venture out: With the pandemic still raging on, there’s a crucial need to ensure that stepping out in public is minimized as much as possible. By bringing dental care to the homes of patients, dentists can play a direct role in COVID-19 safety while making sure that people in need of care receive it in a timely manner.
- Wider patient demographic: Dental services are often not cheap and good dental clinics are not common in rural or hard-to-reach areas. This means that there’s a large chunk of the population that can’t access much-needed care. With home services, dentists can reach a wider demographic and ensure that even patients in far-flung areas get the care they require.
- Catering to the infirm: Patients who aren’t able to leave the house owing to disabilities miss out on vital dental care. Home service gives them the opportunity to avail care while in the comfort of their home. It also benefits the elderly who are at risk for a number of oral problems like gum disease, tooth loss, and denture-induced stomatitis.
- Promoting dental health: While oral health is considered a priority in the West, the same can’t really be said in India when compared to general health. Through home service, dentists can drive home the importance of oral care and spread awareness where there is little.

- Teeth whitening: Bleaching agents are used to whiten teeth to several shades brighter. The treatment improves aesthetics and confidence which, in turn, can provide peace of mind.
