The practice of quack dentistry worldwide is a challenge to the profession of dentistry as it undermines the trust of the general public and places the patients at unnecessary risks through illegal practices. Although the ratio of patients to dentists is rapidly decreasing in India due to the increased output of qualified dentists from different dental colleges, quack dentistry is still practiced in many areas. This growing menace of quackery needs to be curbed at the earliest for the welfare of our patients and the society.
