Commenting on the new addition to the brand’s services, Dr. Gautam Sen, Chairman and Founder of Healthspring said, “At Healthspring, it is our promise to offer proper medical attention to all our patrons under one roof and we continue to stand by it despite COVID-19. Although the times are extremely challenging, we cannot ignore dental health. It is extremely important to maintain good oral hygiene and address an emergency that requires immediate attention. We are undertaking every measure to ensure the safety of our doctors and patients. All treatments are carried out using essential protective wear, sanitization and hygiene.”
Maintaining good dental hygiene is extremely important for one’s wellbeing. Like other areas of the body, the mouth teems with bacteria - mostly harmless. But it is also the entry point to the digestive and respiratory tracts, and some of these bacteria can cause disease.Normally the body's natural defenses and good oral health care, such as daily brushing and flossing, keep bacteria under control. However, without proper oral hygiene, bacteria can reach levels that might lead to oral infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease. Hence it is crucial to not ignore dental checkups and take timely treatments.
All dental services can be availed at Healthspring clinics in Mumbai and Pune.
