I would like to know if your congress approved elimination of fluoride from water for human consumption.
i thnk v all dentists must spread the awarness of dentistry in urban areas also wat say docs
In Urban areas the awareness is already there, people are more concerned about their oral health in City and towns, but the Rural areas are the places where people are least concerned as they think it is not so important to spend so much money on Teeth which is disheartening, so i say that it is easy to convince people from Urban areas to get treatment than to convince people from rural areas
it can be also defined as a discipline or specialty of dentistry that deals with the community and its oral health rather than that of an individual.
