Oral Health: Key Numbers
The World Health Organization’s Global Oral Health Status Report (2022) found that oral diseases affect close to 3.5 billion people worldwide, more than any other group of health conditions, with untreated tooth decay in permanent teeth the most common of all.
Most tooth decay and gum disease can be prevented with twice-daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste, less sugar between meals, no tobacco and regular dental check-ups. Gum disease is linked with diabetes, so good diabetes control and dental care support each other.

- Treatment plan: options, number of visits and a written cost estimate.

How to Choose the Right Dentist in Banjara Hills
- Check the qualification: all dentists have a BDS. An MDS shows specialist training, for example in endodontics for root canals, periodontics for gums, prosthodontics for crowns and dentures, orthodontics for braces or oral surgery.
- Match the need: routine cleaning and fillings, root canals, implants, braces and aligners, gum treatment and wisdom tooth removal are handled by dentists with different training.
- Look at hygiene and equipment: proper sterilisation, digital X-rays and clear treatment plans are signs of a well-run practice.
- Bring your records: earlier X-rays, details of past dental work and a list of medicines, especially blood thinners or diabetes medicines, help the visit.
- Ask about costs upfront: implants, crowns and braces vary widely in price, so ask for a written estimate and the number of visits needed.
