Several health insurance policies are available in India including specific ones like cancer insurance. However, the domain of dental and oral health is often neglected. It might come as a surprise, but dental disorders are on the rise in India with cavities and periodontal diseases being the most common.
Dental health is also associated with other health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and pregnancy. Due to high intake of tobacco products, India is often referred to as the oral cancer capital of the world.
