Alternative to Dental Insurance in India




Dental care is always considered as an expensive affair. More often this belief is what keeps people out of a dental office, till they end up some need for emergency treatment. Dental insurance is a never heard of in India till date, although it is present in varying proportions in the western countries. However to address to this need OroEdge Health Care Pvt. Ltd, a Dental Health management Organisation(DHMO) founded by Dr Dheeraj Grover and Dr Kumar Gaurav offers Dental Health Plan.


Unlike Insurance, Dental Health Plan (Dental Insurance Alternative) has no strings attached to it. There is no age restriction, no extra charges for high risk group patients, no pre existing conditions mandatory declaration or exclusion, no claim settlement hassles, no paperwork, no waiting period, no limitations or annual maximums and no referrals. Dental plans have heralded the advent of new era in dentistry.


OroEdge was born to put an end to the disparity in quality and cost of procedures, emphasize on the benefits of age old adage “Prevention is better than cure” and make quality dental treatment easily available, affordable and accessible.

With the need for dental care rising with the awareness in the masses and absence of any such plan which takes Free care on all the three fronts of any healthcare regimen i.e. , Diagnostic Preventive and Curative care this product in the time to come will become the backbone for many in the masses who are deprived of quality dental care.


As per the need of the society Plans have been formulated to accommodate all age groups and family sizes and suit every pocket too. All the routine procedures and specialized procedures like fillings, root canal treatment, fixed teeth replacement, wisdom tooth surgeries, crowns, teeth whitening, braces, complete dentures and much more are covered.


The medical fraternity too has realized the importance of oral health :
Untreated oral problems can lead to mouth cancer, low immune system, heart problems, daily fatigue and mood swings
American Diabetes Association puts it; you have more bacteria in your mouth than the earth has people.
According to International Diabetes Federation In 2007, India with 40.9 million people has the largest numbers of people with diabetes. Almost one-third of individuals with diabetes have severe gum disease which leads to 3x faster progression of Pyorrhea and Poor Blood Sugar control
Gum disease increase risk for preterm birth and low birth rate babies by as much as 18%. Women with gum disease are 3-5 times greater risk of a preterm birth. These births account for 60% of babies who die in infancy.


OroEdge is willing to associate at various levels to promote the cause of Oral care :


1. Associating with Companies dealing in the Oral Care products to create more awareness in the masses thereby improving the level of awareness and creating the need for the products.

2.Associating with Insurance sector that can provide an added Dental Advantage along with various healthcare policies and give the end user entire spectrum of protection

3. Associate with Corporate houses, Schools and other such organizations to extend dental benefits as a value addition.

4.Associate with Banks to provide a Dental Care incentive to their customers.

5. Associate with Indian Dental Association to improve the Dental Status of the Nation.
