摘要
Oral health inequity-inequitable access to oral health services contributes to the health inequity of the population and further exasperates the socio-economic inequity. This paper attempts to elaborate the nature of oral health inequity in India, by exploring the process and trajectories of oral health inequity. This paper also attempts to provide an over view of oral health care services to the general population and how some section of the population are systematically excluded from the oral health care services. Considering the oral health burden in India, this paper argues that, oral health care in India must be integral part of primary health care. The current national dental health policy needs urgent revision. Customize strategies to the unique needs and resources that exist in India. This is what is most likely to work and have a positive impact on the oral health of Indian population.
