Dental Quacks- Street Dentist

We have so many dental quacks floating around, doing unethical practice. These street dentists often visit villages on their bicycle with a bag consisting of some pliers, screwdrivers, dividers, self-acrylic materials. They basically deal with denture fabrication and mobile extractions. Quackery is a derogatory term used to describe the fraudulent misrepresentation of the diagnosis and treatment of disease. It is the practice of unproven, ineffective medicine, usually in order to make money or to maintain a position of power. 

I have come across so many cases of malpractice. People inserted wires in open pulp chambers. A patient came whose upper denture was retained using M- seal. Direct acrylic restorations are so common. 




I wish people develop some sense and visit qualified dentist. Amen!
