Abstract
In modern healthcare, collaboration between different disciplines is imperative for delivering comprehensive and patient-centered care. This paper explores the significance of collaborative efforts between dentistry and nursing in patient care. Recognizing the interconnectedness of oral and systemic health, nurses play a vital role in promoting oral health within their scope of practice. Collaboration between dentists and nurses in clinical settings can significantly enhance patient outcomes, with nurses assisting patients in oral care and serving as advocates for their oral health needs. Inter professional education and training are essential to prepare future healthcare professionals for collaborative practice. Despite barriers such as limited awareness and communication gaps, addressing these challenges can lead to improved patient care. Embracing a collaborative approach between dentistry and nursing holds promise for enhancing patient well-being and preventing disease across the lifespan.
