Dental problems prevalence is increasing at high pace and so is the need of dentist or dental clinics nearer to you, initially when doctor’s numbers and specialties were less in number, it was really easy to find and meet doctor in your reach.
But as use of internet and technology escalated plus increased demand further gave birth to maintain online presence of medicos and dental clinic or hospital, so now we may see noticeable searches, use of online platforms and google business listings.
Here are some tips to find good dental doctor near kharadi, pune
- Search on google for category
- Look for GMB, Practo, Justdial like platforms for doctors
- Compare reviews and ratings by previous patients
But in my opinion it is not enough as now a days many companies are doing SEO ( search engine optimization ) and extensive fake feedback collection which are not genuine patients and online digital marketing is becoming a business day by day.
Now in the age of digital marketing era it is very difficult to find trustable dentist in any given part of city, but you can visit a place and get to know about doctor and dental clinic personally and decide by yourself.
What I believe is that job of marketing is to bring patients to the respective dental practices, but real journey starts after your experience with doctors, trust factor, reputation of doctor, attitude of staff and overall care taken by the clinic management.
Here we are listing few points you can note to find differences in practices –
1 – Reception
- Look for any practice management software available
- Team of BDS and MDS dental surgeons in consulting panel
- Ambience and sitting area
- Staff in uniform or not
2 – Working area
- Hygiene of premises
- Types of instruments
- Dental chairs
- Arrangement of instruments
- Sterilization process
3 – Consultation area
- Explanation of cause, treatment
- Time given for consultation
- Cost of procedures
- Financial advises if any like EMI or PDC
4 – Dental laboratory support
- Apart from this key partner is dental lab manufacturer who helps in preparing crowns, bridges, implant prosthesis and dentures.
5 – Safety or sanitation
- Amidst current Covid pandemic aerosols producing procedures are either postponed or can be done by using PPE kit, aerosol High vac suction machine.
- Post operatively fogger machines are used for neutralizing any pathogens
many times cost of procedure is more so we may get anxious
THEN WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH DENTIST AND DENTAL PATIENTS ?
Speciality Branch
Dentistry is still an upcoming branch of medical science in India, it needs more time to settle and Upgrade.
Costly management & Infrastructure
most of dental Equipment’s are imported from all around world and management or working cost are higher due to dental lab expenses and Consultant doctors fees.
No Insurance or Mediclaim Coverage
there is no insurance / Mediclaim / reimbursement policy available in India till date. (some companies cover 5 to 15 K depending on group insurance taken by company – which accepts any medical / hospital bills.
Lack of awareness
People are not yet educated regarding many dental procedures, treatment options, so half knowledge is always dangerous.
Elective Procedures
Most of dental procedures are elective ( means one can postpone them in early phases – at Will. ) so dental patients try to find home remedies to postpone pain till last moment.
Saturation of dental clinics in Urban areas
practically most dentist settle in urban areas due to less awareness, less demand in rural areas and lack of govt job availability, so setting up private dental clinic is only choice left with dental doctors.
Conclusion – Most of our decisions in life are Value driven and not cost driven…. it depends on severity of problems or situation and choices or will power of person…
