Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 9 (ANI): Karnataka Health and Education Minister K Sudhakar on Tuesday said there is a need to create awareness among rural people about oral health.
Speaking in a programme at Rajeev Gandhi University of Health Sciences on the occasion of International Dentists Day, he said there is a lack of awareness regarding dental care in India. People go abroad for dental check-ups at least twice a year. But in rural areas of our country, people visit dentists only after the pain becomes irresistible. There is a lack of awareness regarding dental care in India. We need to create awareness about this especially in rural areas, said the minister.
