Abstract

The history of dental and medical quackery has been hand in hand with tremendous peak of concern these days around the world including India. Quackery is the fraudulent misrepresentation of one's ability and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of disease or of the effects to be achieved by the treatment offered. Eliminating quackery is a major and vital topic. To halt it at its source, actions should be made in groups. Every dentist has a duty to participate in the mission.

Keywords: Dental Quacks; Tackling Measures; Companies and Startups; Rural India.
