Abstract

Oral health is a vital component of overall health, directly impacting an individual's quality of life. Oral health is a fundamental human right and is closely linked to physical and psychological well-being. Maintaining good oral health, through optimal dental hygiene and proper care, can prevent various diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease, and support basic functions such as speaking, eating, and smiling, which are essential for social interaction and self-esteem. Poor oral health can cause discomfort, functional limitations, and psychological distress that diminish quality of life. Oral diseases such as caries and periodontal disease have a high prevalence globally, exerting significant socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, adopting good oral care habits and appropriate treatment are crucial to prevent the development of oral diseases that can impair quality of life. This study underscores the importance of maintaining oral health to improve overall health and quality of life.
