Changing Scenario in the Indian Dental Space Post-COVID-19

Updated: May 14, 2021



Rubbing shoulders with passengers on a metro or rounding up for house parties after office sounds like old tales from the pre-COVID-19 era. Work from the office and rest at home has all blurred and post-COVID-19, it’s ‘work while you rest’ from home.


COVID-19 brought multi-layered changes in people’s behaviour towards hygiene. While we have welcomed masks, shields, social distancing, and sanitisation, it is time to embrace another healthy habit into our everyday lives - good dental hygiene.


Research says poor oral health makes us a host for COVID-19 and many other life-threatening diseases, however, it takes consulting with the dentist to help us keep 120+ systemic diseases at an arm’s length. Rest, things like brushing twice a day, opting for rinses with a pinch of salt in lukewarm water, and flossing regularly, must be a part of our daily routine.


Good dental hygiene has been the foundation of leading a healthy life. Interestingly, compared to western countries, dental wellness in India is still on the rise and with the pandemic, people are wondering if visiting a dentist safe during COVID-19?


Well, as much as dental hygiene is crucial, it is not advisable to see a dentist at the moment, however, in case of tooth pain or discomfort, seeing a dentist becomes a must as it increases the risk to one’s overall health.


Unfortunately, delayed or cancelled dental appointments have seen an upswing even among people in severe pain due to poor access to essential dental treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. A problem that companies like MyDentalPlan Healthcare are taking care of by ensuring high-quality treatment, hygiene and sterilisation - all at uniform prices, through their 80+ clinic audit points.


Along with emphasising how oral health is linked to a number of diseases including COVID-19, MyDentalPlan also ensures easy access to credible dentists delivering safe dental solutions through teleconsultations and video consultation, thus making dental care accessible at all times.


It’s important to acknowledge that simply washing hands and sanitising ourselves will not help. Our mouth is the first point of contact inside our body for every infection making dental wellbeing the key to become fit as a fiddle.
