Abstract

Chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension are major global public health issues that impact overall health and oral health. This research is to evaluate the efficacy of various strategies in the prevention and management of chronic illnesses and associated oral health problems. A quantitative study methodology was used, which included surveying 300 patients with chronic illnesses. The results showed that participants had good views and were satisfied with how their oral health was being managed, suggesting that oral health treatments had a beneficial effect on controlling chronic diseases. Nevertheless, differences in experiences and preferences for oral health care and education were recognized, indicating the need for customized strategies. The findings highlight the significant correlation between dental health and chronic illnesses, in line with previous study on periodontitis. The study suggests oral health therapies can improve overall well-being and mitigate chronic illnesses. However, differences in access and preferences need further study to address inequities. The findings are crucial for healthcare professionals, politicians, and public health efforts. Policymakers should promote oral health, ensure access, and educate patients. Public health campaigns should encourage good lifestyle habits. Further research is needed to understand the long-term effects of oral health interventions on chronic disease management, the influence of specific oral health practices on disease prevention, and the effectiveness of new oral health education methods.
