Abstract

Lorenzo Shao*

This study aims to explore the clinical assessment of the oral cavity in mental patients with dietary problems. Mental health disorders often coexist with dietary issues, leading to adverse oral health outcomes. The objective of this research is to evaluate the oral health status of individuals with mental health conditions and identify any associations between dietary problems and oral health complications. A comprehensive clinical assessment was conducted, including dental examinations, assessment of dietary habits, and interviews with mental health professionals. The findings indicate a significant correlation between mental disorders and poor oral health, particularly in patients with dietary problems. The results emphasize the importance of integrated care approaches that address both mental health and oral health in this vulnerable population.
