Dental tweezers are handheld dental instruments that are used in placing and retrieving small objects in the mouth during an oral procedure. Dental tweezers are available in different shapes and sizes, which offers a feasible option to health care professionals. Locking types of tweezers are used most often, owing to the convenience of holding and locking the product in position offered by them. They are widely preferred by doctors during dental procedures. Dental tweezers are employed to hold and transfer cotton wool rolls and cotton pellets. They are also used to apply dentine conditioners. As per a study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, in 2018, 42% of adults in the U.S. were suffering from periodontitis.

Dental tourism is a collateral service meant to provide patients with cost-effective oral treatments in developing economies. These include India, Turkey, and Hungary. Dental tourism is widely practiced to attract patients from developed economies, who prefer traveling abroad in search of low-cost and high-quality oral treatments. This tourism is flourishing due to low labor costs, low fixed costs, and minimum government intervention in the health care industry in developing economies. For example, root canal treatments start from US$ 550 in the U.S., while they cost only US$ 110 in Turkey, US$ 69 in Hungary, and US$ 60 in India.
Dental issues such as tooth decay, gum diseases, mouth sores, and tooth erosion can become chronic. In addition, if periodontal diseases remain untreated, they can lead to serious dental issues. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study conducted by the WHO (World Health Organization) in 2016, around 3.58 billion people are affected by oral diseases including tooth decay worldwide. As per the WHO, dental treatments cost around 5% of the total health care expenditure and incur 20% out-of-pocket expenditure in developed countries.
Awareness about dental consumables is highly important for oral health. Several oral health awareness programs have been conducted to increase this awareness among people. For instance, according to Colgate Oral Care Center, dental activities for kids promote awareness among parents about their own oral health as well as that of their kids. Increasing awareness about new health care techniques and disease indications leads to more protective oral health care.
Dental treatment is considered to be costly. A single crown or bridge costs from around US$ 150 to US$ 200. High costs of dental procedures make the treatment out of reach of patients, especially patients with average income in developing nations such as India and China. However, economic growth of these countries has resulted in increase in the average per capita income of people in these countries. Moreover, awareness about dental procedures and products in Asia is lower than that in North America and Europe, due to lack of promotional events and lack of adequate number of dental centers in Asia. Thus, the dental tweezers market in countries such as India, China, Bangladesh, South Korea, and Malaysia is undergoing a developing stage, offering immense opportunities to existing as well new entrants.
