The population receiving dental medical care increased from 29.7% in 2007 to 31.1% in 2013.

People need a quick response to get their teeth checked before going to a dentist whose location might be far from their home. An early response to handle a dental disease that someone may suffer is essential. Therefore, a quick way to diagnose a dental disease that can be done by everybody is needed.
