Abstract

Background: As the global population ages, adults over 65 are increasingly retaining natural teeth, highlighting the need for tailored oral healthcare to meet the unique needs of older adults. Oral health plays a crucial role in the physical, emotional, and social well-being of this population, as poor oral health can exacerbate conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and nutritional deficits, which can impact self-confidence, social interaction, and potentially lead to social isolation and decreased well-being.
