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).

 a rare, but very real, speech disorder.
