Abstract

Oral health is increasingly recognized as an essential component of overall health and well-being, with growing evidence demonstrating strong links between oral conditions and systemic diseases. Disorders such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections often manifest signs within the oral cavity, making dental professionals key contributors to early detection and prevention strategies. The modern dental care team must therefore move beyond isolated treatment of teeth and gums to embrace a holistic, health-centered approach. This evolution reflects a broader transformation in healthcare, where integration, collaboration, and prevention are prioritized over fragmented care models. Recognizing oral-systemic interconnections strengthens the role of dental professionals within the wider healthcare system (Dyar, 2022; Tartaglia, 2021).
