Oral Health Status among People at Slums

Oral Health Status among People at Slums

There is a clear link between the presence of many oral health problems and a higher likelihood of developing Multimorbidity or comorbidity. Periodontal disease is prevalent among people with Multimorbidity, including diabetes, hypertension, anemia, and many related health problems. The coexistence of many chronic conditions and oral illnesses is a significant difficulty in the adult population living in slums, as it negatively impacts their quality of life and is linked to substantial healthcare expenses. It is necessary for the dentistry profession to address this issue and contemplate the implementation of initial screening at the primary healthcare level.
