Access to Dental Health and Social Inequality: How the poor is alienated from advanced dentistry

Abstract

<p>Research has shown that the status of oral health has an association with general health of an individual. This means that if an individual suffers dental diseases, it is likely that the individual could also suffer other general health conditions. Similarly, research has shown that dental health is an important determinant of the health status of the individual.This means that an individual will feel sick and therefore will be unable to perform normal functions because of a dental disease. In addition, dental health improves the aesthetics, general profile and the outlook of the individual. All above indicate the importance of dental health care and social responsibility of any government to provide such dental care without any discrimination.</p>
