India is a country with a huge population of 1.25 billion. Nearly 70% of this population lives in rural areas. For millions of people, especially in rural areas access to dental care still remains difficult as majority of dentists practice in urban areas. There are various other factors also that prevent the people from reaching the dental clinics. These factors include old age, poor socioeconomic status, etc. The need of the hour is to provide effective dental care to the deprived and rural population of India.The mobile dental clinics abolish the distance criteria by bringing the patient closer to the service. Mobile dental vans are used to cater to large number of people in different ways. It is involved in training of dental students for the community dental services like community awareness and oral health promotion.The main goal of the mobile dental clinics is to provide dental health care to all the sections of the society. Because of the shortage of dental health facilities in rural areas such portable units can solve the basic dental problem to a great extent.Thus mobile clinics are now an integral part of all the dental health schools.
