In light of this, Dr Ankit and Dr Ruchira Khanna have founded Health Chakra Pvt Ltd., to provide holistic health services to India, starting with oral health. Our aim is to provide a 360º approach to your oral health needs ranging from tele-consultations, in-person service through vans & clinics, and our health-bot, E-Sarathi.
Why oral health? 90% of systemic health conditions produce oral signs and symptoms. Some examples include:
Poorly controlled diabetes can lead to chronic gum disease
Cardiovascular disease due to oral inflammation
Preterm birth and low birth weight baby
In India, 95% of the population suffer from gum disease, only 50% use toothbrush, and 4% go to the dentist Oral diseases are progressive, cumulative and become complex over time.
