Abstract

In India, a significant middle-class demographic and health-related expenses often push families into debt and exacerbate poverty. Most developed countries have dental insurance plans available to many people, but Dental insurance is currently nearly nonexistent within the Indian market. Insurance providers extend dental care benefits exclusively in instances necessitating hospitalization, such as in accidents requiring dental surgical intervention. The availability of dental insurance shields consumers from the unexpected financial expenses that come with dental treatments. Dental insurance plans will improve people’s attitudes toward availing of dental care, thereby resulting in improved oral health in the communities. This review provides an overview of various dental insurance plans available in the Indian market.
