ABSTRACT
Dental diseases are one of the most prevalent diseases and yet most neglected. However, increased awareness in past few decades led to rise in need of dental treatment. As dental health personnel are limited in government hospitals and treatment is very expensive in private sector, the underprivileged people of community go to unqualified and unskilled persons (quacks).

Key words: Dental health, Quacks, malpractice.
