New Delhi, India: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), and Union Health ministry have launched 'eDantSeva' website and mobile application - that will reach out to more than one billion people with just one click.
On the 7th of October 2019, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, in collaboration with the Union Health Ministry launched a unique digital platform 'e-DantSeva' - the first-ever website and mobile application on oral health awareness.
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said the digital platform will provide oral health information gathered from authentic scientific resources and help people to get timely advice for managing their dental emergencies and various oral health problems. The 'eDantSeva' website and mobile application will reach out to more than one billion people with just one click, he added.
'e-DantSeva' contains information about the National Oral Health Programme, a detailed list of all the dental facility and colleges, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) material and a unique feature called the 'Symptom Checker'.

eDantSeva aims to sensitize people about the significance of maintaining optimum oral health and equips them with the tools and knowledge to do so, including awareness on the nearest oral health service facility (contains GPRS and satellite images of the facility for easier access to the people).
Dr Harsh Vardhan also released a Braille booklet and voice-over on oral health education for visually impaired. "Oral health is indispensable for the wellbeing and good quality of life. Poor oral health affects growth negatively in all aspects of human development," he said
The objectives of e-DantSeva include:
- Improvement in the determinants of oral health e.g. healthy diet, oral hygiene improvement etc. and to reduce disparity in oral health accessibility in rural & urban population.

- Integrate oral health promotion and preventive services with general health care system and other sectors that influence oral health; namely various National Health Programs.
