Dental tourism, popularly known as dental holidays is a part of medical tourism and involves those individuals who seek dental care outside their local healthcare systems while vacationing. As the dental tourism is growing worldwide, India has also become a tourist spot for dental patients because of its cost effective and excellent treatment procedures. But there are still many issues faced by the people in order to reap benefits from this sector. The government plays a crucial in eradicating the complexities associated with the process for example simplifying the process of medical visa and instituting visa-on-arrival for patient’s so as to further the promotion of the dental services to the visitors.
