Evidence-based regional data on oral health prevalence and communication barriers in India, the Netherlands and the USA — with sources. This is the public health problem PCC Training’s patient communication materials are built to address.
Oral disease is the most prevalent non-communicable disease globally, affecting an estimated 3.5 billion people worldwide (WHO, 2022). Yet the majority of oral health conditions are preventable through effective patient communication and education. PCC Training develops evidence-based, multilingual patient communication materials — brochures, animations, videos and instruction sheets — tailored to the specific oral health challenges in each region. Below is the data that shapes our content.

~1.4 billion population · Significant rural–urban access divide · Language diversity
High dental access · Insurance coverage gap · Treatment compliance challenge
Major access inequality · Health literacy gap · Largest dental market globally
Every material is culturally adapted — not just translated — to speak to the specific health context, literacy level, and communication norms of each region.
Infographics, animations, and illustrated instructions work for patients regardless of literacy level — critical in India and underserved US communities.
WhatsApp-based follow-up reaches patients in countries where smartphone penetration is high but desktop access is low — especially India.
