Dentist Services available for needy

As per the world health organization dentists are the part of caring organization and dentistry is defined as the science and art of diagnosing, preventing and treating injuries, diseases and other malformations in jaw, teeth and mouth. Dentistry is considered to be an ethical practice and like other doctors dentists should practice to put the welfare of patients above any other considerations.

There are a number of recognized dental specialties today like endodontists, oral surgeons and physicians, oral pathologists and orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, paediatric dentists, periodontists and other special need dentists. There are a range of dental services provided by general dental practitioners. However the majority of dental practitioners work in private and thus the cost of service is somewhat higher for low level income group.

Affordable dental care is not found everywhere especially in today's world where becoming a dentist is seen as a very lucrative career. One such avenue where in one can find affordable dental care is within medical colleges and universities. Such school offer affordable dental care which is at reduced rates as the students studying at such colleges perform most of the work. People who can not afford the high costs of dental implants have in the past used services of such universities and colleges to good means. Besides, these are a good way of getting affordable dental care for people with no dental insurance coverage. However on the cons side these surgeries and implants are done by students so is not a completely professional service and some patients might be apprehensive about it.
