India has always been an interesting and at the same time fascinating tourist spot for

 people from all over the world. However, recently India has earned a new title for 

itself, that of the best hotspot for medical and dental health tourism.

The industry has gone very rapidly from a profit of US$310 million/ year up to US$2 

billion, which makes a huge difference. The dental medical treatments are in this 

country cheap but of extremely high quality.

The greatest majority of tourists who come to India arrive for dental 

procedures, or cosmetic dentistry services (which are most of the times not 

covered by their insurance policy in their country).

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- American Dental Partners (Nasdaq:ADPI) has been upgraded by 

TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, 

such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, 

revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with 

reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the 

company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself.

Dental evolution big toothache for ancient reptile

PARIS — Missing teeth and the decayed jawbone of a 275-million year old reptile have pushed back the earliest evidence of tooth decay some 200 million years, according to a study published Tuesday.

The new find also highlights the downside of the evolutionary shift from loosely-fitted teeth that fall out but grow back to having a single set of permanent chompers, a drawback shared by adult humans, the researchers said.

Labidosaurus hamatus -- a fat-headed, omnivorous reptile about 75 centimeters (30 inches) long -- adapted over millions of years to life on land rather than the watery marshes of its amphibious forebear.
