When an individual's mental state exhibits certain behavioral or psychological patterns; a mental disorder may be diagnosed based on criteria in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, the DSM-5 for short.4 The term mental disorder, influences several aspects of life and is sometimes interchangeably used with psychological and psychiatric disorders. Prior to the pandemic, the number of persons with a mental disorder was counted to be around 792 million globally, this prevalence has surged by about 25%.2,5,6 Several socio-economic aspects, typically unemployment, social isolation, and poverty, impact mental disorders.7,8 A number of modifications in people's health behaviors have occurred as an effect of the covid-19 pandemic, such as a rise in snacking, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and decreased physical activity.9 When negative health behaviors combine with stressors such as fear of infections, lack of supplies and information, or financial loss (these are relevant for the covid-19 pandemic), oral health may deteriorate.10 As mental disorders are on the rise, one may expect an increase in anti-psychotics and depressants. These medications involve the risk of adverse effects, such as bruxism and xerostomia, which adversely affect the oral.11, 12, 13, 14 The notion that fear of infection and social interaction, associated with the pandemic, may hinder access to dental, has been reported.15 Worsened anxiety or phobia of dental treatment can result from non-attendance,16,17 making patients exclusively seek dental care during emergencies.18 The pandemic's impact on mental health is distressing,19 however, this may just be among the first of several sequelae to appear. For example, the pandemic may have fueled anxiety through elevated use and addiction to social media,20, 21, 22, 23 social media may also influence the perception of dental treatment.24,25 Indeed, about 3.5 billion individuals have untreated oral conditions,26 and the number may grow with the growing prevalence of mental disorders and as a consequence of the pandemic. Mental disorders and oral health's reciprocal influence is generally neglected and little-known issue.27 However, this issue is highly relevant following the pandemic and needs to be brought to awareness by health professionals to guide policymaking. This review presents an updated review on the relationships between oral health and mental health disorders and the importance of oral health in mental health disorders. 2 Method A literature search was done regarding mental disorders and oral health approaches in Google Scholar and PubMed from the year 1995 until 2023. All the English-language papers were evaluated based on the inclusion criteria. Publications included original research papers, review articles, and book chapters. 3 Psycho-disorders/mental disorders definition, prevalence, types, symptoms, or habits In 2017, about 792 million individuals were diagnosed with a mental disorder on a global scale, with females as the dominating gender.28 Mental disorders encompass a diverse spectrum, as summarized in Table 1. A mental disorder involves a person's behavioral or psychological patterns; based on criteria in the DSM-5.4 Most encountered disorders are depression and anxiety, affecting around 3.8% of the world population. Recently, the global prevalence of depression and anxiety, in adolescents was estimated to be 25–31%.29 More than half of middle‐ and high‐income countries' populations are expected to suffer from one, or more, mental disorders during their lives.30 Poor mental health is a growing burden globally, in the span from 1990 to 2019, the global proportion of disability-adjusted life-years ascribed to mental disorders went from 3.1 to 4.9%.31 This has a profound impact on the world economy, as costs involve more than direct costs such as medication and hospitalization,32 but also income losses because of lost production because of missing work or swift retirement.32,33 Such indirect costs did make up 1.7 trillion USD in 2010, while the total costs totaled 2.5 trillion, these numbers are only expected to rise with the growing prevalence.33 The projected lost economic output globally, from 2011 to 2030, is estimated to reach 16.3 trillion USD, which surpasses that of cancer and is similar to cardiovascular diseases.33 Mental disorders are indeed an expanding threat, which requires raised awareness, education, prevention, and treatment initiatives nationally and globally.31 Common metal disorders include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, dementia, and alcohol and drug use disorders (Table 2).Table 1 Overview of the global prevalence in 2017 of common mental disorders. Adapted with permission from Dattani et al.28 Table 1Disorder Share of the global population with the disorder (2017) [difference across countries] Number of people with the disorder (2017) Share of males: females with the disorder (2017) Any mental health disorder 10.7% 792 million 9.3% males 11.9% females Depression 3.4% [2–6%] 264 million 2.7% males 4.1% females Anxiety disorders 3.8% [2.5–7%] 284 million 2.8% males 4.7% females Bipolar disorder 0.6% [0.3–1.2%] 46 million 0.55% males 0.65% females Eating disorders (clinical anorexia & bulimia) 0.2% [0.1–1%] 16 million 0.13% males 0.29% females Schizophrenia 0.3% [0.2–0.4%] 20 million 0.26% males 0.25% females Any mental or substance use disorder 13% [11–18%] 970 million 12.6% males 13.3% females Alcohol use disorder 1.4% [0.5–5%] 107 million 2% males 0.8% females Drug use disorder (excluding alcohol) 0.9% [0.4–3.5%] 71 million 1.3% males 0.6% females Table 2 Common mental health disorders and their common symptoms. Table 2Common metaldisorders Common Sympoms Depression Symptoms mostly involve sadness and loss of interest or pleasure. Anxiety Anxiety sets off in presence of an overactivation of a recognized threat or erroneous danger assessment, leading to an excessive and unfitting fight-or-flight reaction Bipolar disorder Usually comprises manic and depressive episodes, with periods of normal mood in-between. High-speed speech, elevated self-esteem, and reduced need for sleep, typically characterize a manic episode Schizophrenia and other psychoses Schizophrenia is a typical psychosis, characterized by distorted thinking, perception, emotions, and behavior, with hallucinations of auditory and visual types Dementia Findings of cognitive decline compared to a former time point, while the person remains independent and well-functioning in daily life, is diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment 3.1 Depression Depression is, together with anxiety, the most common mental disorder and one of the major reasons for disability.28 Symptoms mostly involve sadness and loss of interest or pleasure.34 Compromised social function, impacting education or work, is common and involves a significant risk of suicide.35 3.2 Anxiety Anxiety sets off in the presence of an overactivation of a recognized threat or erroneous danger assessment, leading to an excessive and unfitting fight-or-flight reaction.36 Such irrational fear responses give off a wide scope of symptoms; fear of losing control or of death, diminished concentration, elevated confusion, impaired memory, tachycardia, shortness of breath, chest pains, syncope, and so on. People with anxiety tend to avoid triggering situations.37 Several subtypes of anxiety exist, a common one is dental anxiety or dental fear. The more severe version is known as dental phobia, or odontophobia; an extremely irrational fear or aversion to dental-related situations.38 A recent meta-analysis estimated the global prevalence of dental anxiety in children and adolescents to be 23.9%. Whereas 36.5% of preschoolers, 25.8% of school children, and 13.3% of adolescents, reported dental anxiety.39 Dental anxiety is common with a 36% prevalence, while dental phobia affects a smaller proportion of the population, about 10% globally.40 Dental anxiety and phobia impact oral health and general well-being negatively and make necessary dental treatment challenging. For these patients, it is vital for the practitioner to offer a safe environment and trust, and use an array of approaches; information, show-do-tell, coping skills, cognitive behavior therapy, preventive and minimally invasive treatment.41 Specialists, both medical and dental, or psychologists, with or without sedation with nitrous oxide or benzodiazepines, or even general anesthesia, may be necessary in select cases.38 3.3 Bipolar disorder Close to 46 million people worldwide28 are affected by bipolar disorder. Usually, it comprises manic and depressive episodes, with periods of normal mood in-between. High-speed speech, elevated self-esteem, and reduced need for sleep, typically characterize a manic episode. Bipolar disorder impacts several aspects, such as increased mortality and disability, and diminished quality of life.42 3.4 Schizophrenia and other psychoses Schizophrenia is a typical psychosis, characterized by distorted thinking, perception, emotions, and behavior, with hallucinations of auditory and visual types. Untreated schizophrenia is not compatible with a normal function or role in society, however, effective treatment and support can re-integrate the person into society with a productive life.43 3.5 Dementia Objective findings of cognitive decline compared to a former time point, while the person remains independent and well-functioning in daily life, is diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. The diagnosis of dementia requires supplemental findings of significant difficulties in daily life, and that negatively influence the person's independence.44 That is the consequence of impaired cognitive functions such as memory, motivation, thinking, orientation, emotional control, and communication, among others. Dementia is mostly the product of Alzheimer's disease or stroke. The most apparent and significant risk factor is age.45,46 The global scale prevalence is projected to grow from 57 million individuals to 152 million by 2050,47 this increase is mainly attributed to the extension of life expectancy. The risk of developing dementia grows with increasing age, for 65–69-year-olds the disease will annually occur in 2.4 per 1000 persons, for 90+ year-olds, the incidence rate is 70.2 per 1000 persons.48 Dementia has no curative or course-altering treatment, preventive measures and early diagnosis are therefore vital49 and should aim to influence modifiable risk factors; such as cardiovascular and lifestyle factors, depression, and head injuries.45,50 4 Brain-stomatognathic axis The neurological impact of oral health has received little attention. However, oral health and the brain may influence the development of several diseases, reflecting interesting directions of research and potential management methods. A complex communication system between the brain, and the stomatognathic system – consisting of the jaws, the oral cavity's interior, and surrounding tissues, constitute the brain-stomatognathic axis.51 This system explains the relationship between observable changes in the brain and oral status.51,52 The colloquially known “Nun study”, began in 1986 and is still ongoing, with a focus on aging and Alzheimer's disease. 678 women with a mean age of 83 years, agreed to receive cognitive assessments annually, and brain donation on death. Additionally, several of these individuals have dental data.53 The study has shown that the number of missing teeth was associated with an increased risk of dementia,53 highlighting the association between cognitive decline and masticatory dysfunction, supported by clinical54 and animal observations.55 These observations suggest tooth loss, is a possible risk factor for cognitive decline54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 and dementia.57,58,60 7.6% of the global population is edentulous, the prevalence increases to 14% in 50+ year-olds.61 Edentulism and tooth loss lead to diminished mastication, so-called masticatory dysfunction.62 As the Nun study sparked interest in the association of dementia and tooth loss and the brain-stomatognathic, it may imply that rehabilitating one's masticatory function can prevent cognitive decline.51 Rehabilitation of masticatory dysfunction may be achievable by prosthodontic means, such as dentures or dental implants, or by exercise. Both approaches show positive findings. The effects on cognitive function with masticatory exercise intervention exhibit promising results63, 64, 65, 66, 67 Jaw-tapping, a form of masticatory exercise, for four weeks improves memory function in cognitively impaired patients.63 The oral rehabilitation of four edentulous patients, in the case of converting from removable dentures to implant-retained dentures, resulted in improved working memory and oral health quality of life. The pilot investigation suggested that oral rehabilitation influences neurocognitive changes positively.64 Evidence suggests that masticatory function has a positive influence on cognitive function.51,60,63, 64, 65, 66, 67 Animal studies shed light on possible mechanisms explaining the influence of mastication,59,68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74 and involve cognitive decline as a result of decreased cellular proliferation70,71 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor,68 increased nitrous oxide75 and extracellular dopamine concentrations76 in the hippocampus. These changes have been suggested to be regulated by the cerebellum or movement-compensation in the brain, or sensory-feedback mechanisms pertaining to the stomatognathic complex.51 However, caution must be exercised as other factors may influence these relationships. For example, the chronological order of whether cognitive impairment favors poor oral health and thus tooth loss and reduced function of mastication, or if masticatory dysfunction leads to cognitive decline, is challenging to prove.56 In addition, the role of another cause of tooth loss, specifically periodontitis, needs to be taken into consideration.77 5 Relationship between oral health and mental health Dental caries, severe periodontitis, and tooth loss26 are the main oral diseases that remain untreated among 3.5 billion individuals, which reflects oral health as a globally underestimated and undervalued health challenge.78,79 In 2017, the global burden of all oral diseases reached 18.3 million years lived with disability (disability-adjusted life-years for oral conditions), representing a 19.9% increase since 1990,80 whereas the global economic burden is 544 billion USD, 187 billion of these are due to productivity losses.81 Indirect costs, such as productivity losses, may be attributed to oral health's influence on social withdrawal and isolation, pain and reduced mastication, self-esteem, lack of oral health awareness, and mistrust of dental health care providers.82 Individuals with mental disorders may be considered a vulnerable group because of those influences.82,83 Additionally, oral health impacts general health, evidence supports an intimate association with coronary and respiratory diseases, stroke, and diabetes.84, 85, 86, 87 Such conditions are frequent comorbidities in those suffering from mental disorders.14, 88 Studies report plenty of associations between oral and mental health problems: dental erosion in the eating disorders anorexia and bulimia, burning mouth syndrome in anxiety and depression,89 dental caries due to high consumption of sugar,90 and increased incidence of periodontal disease due to poor hygiene and excessive smoking,14, 82, 91 and increased risk of temporomandibular joint dysfunction.92 Reportedly, serious mental disorders involve 2.8 times higher risk of becoming edentulous in contrast to the general population.14, 27 Predictors and determinants of poor oral health involve mental disorders and lifestyle factors, illustrating the complicated interplay of influencing factors in mental and oral health (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).Fig. 1 An overview of predictors of poor oral health. Adapted with permission from Kenny et al..27 Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Overview of determinants of poor oral health. Adapted with permission from Kenny et al..27 Fig. 2 Suspicion of mental disorders should be raised at the dental office when atypical presentations of common oral diseases, or uncommon oral diseases, are observed. Common conditions such as loss of surface tooth substance may be attributed to a number of mental disorders based on their representations. Dental erosions are present in 38% of patients with an eating disorder,93 the palatal dental surfaces are usually affected because of self-induced vomiting, in contrast to the common labial erosions due to extrinsic consumption of acidic drinks.94 Bruxism, colloquially known as teeth grinding, is likely to suffer from anxiety or depression.95 Bruxism can result in vertical loss of tooth substance, whereas labial surface loss due to frantic tooth brushing, tends to be linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder.96 Xerostomia, the feeling of dry mouth, and hyposalivation are associated with antidepressants and psychotics. For example, tricyclic antidepressants can halve a person's rate of salivation.97 A dry mouth increases dental caries risk, weakens denture retention and raises the risk of candida infections.98 6 Effect of oral health approaches for psycho-disorders There is a complex relationship between mental disorders and oral diseases due to the shared social determinants and bidirectional interaction mechanisms that involve interconnected social, behavioral, psychological, and biological processes.99 Poor oral health has an effect on daily functioning and quality of life especially in patients with mental health disorders.100, 101, 102 Therefore, patients with mental disorders are three times more likely to lose their teeth compared to general people.103 There is a burden of oral health-related quality of life in patients with a mental health disorder. It is important to develop an oral health toolkit considering its potential effect on oral health-related quality of life in mental health.100 Oral health programs should be provided tailored to the needs of the patient. Effective oral care is necessary for maintaining the oral health of mental health patients.104 When caring for patients with mental health disorders, it is essential to consider oral health care as an essential part of their daily tasks and provide necessary nursing support. Mental health nurses have an important role in the care of patients with mental health disorders.100 In clinics, mental health nurses including physicians and dental professionals should be involved in the oral health care of mental health disorder patients. Mental health nurses should be more aware of oral health and oral health risk and should provide long-term interventions to improve oral health. Therefore, multidisciplinary teams involved in the care of mental health disorders, and should consider oral health care as an essential part of their care for patients with mental health disorders.105 7 Mental disorders and dental diseases Periodontitis is a chronic disease, that affects the tissue surrounding the tooth structure, with inflammatory disorder, degradation, and ultimately loss of the tooth. The treatment constitutes the removal of bacterial biofilm on the tooth surface regularly by dental professionals and demands a high level of adherence to excellent oral hygiene routines. Beyond tooth loss and subsequent masticatory dysfunction, periodontitis also affects general health.84, 85, 86,106,107 Globally, periodontitis is among the most prevalent diseases with 20–50% of the population affected.108 The prevalence of periodontitis is projected to increase with the aging population and as a larger portion of older adults retain their natural teeth.109 Mental disorders and their relationship with oral disease, in particular periodontitis, are gaining increasingly more attention in the research communities. Several of the relationships are suggested to be bi-directional, which opens up for future therapeutic, diagnostic, and preventive measures.110 7.1 Alzheimer's disease Recent meta-analyses suggest a significant association between periodontitis and Alzheimer's disease.77,111 Indeed, a number of studies support this association and propose several explanations,112,113 however, the mechanism of bacterial translocation contributing to systemic inflammation, seems plausible.110 This is supported as the DNA of Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the main pathogens of periodontitis has been isolated in Alzheimer-diagnosed individuals,114 as well as antibodies against several periodontitis-associated bacteria.115,116 Additionally, an association between periodontitis severity and Alzheimer's disease has been reported.111,117,118 Further support for this evidence is attributed to animal studies where murine subjects were administered live P. gingivalis or their endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide. The administrations resulted in observable reductions of learning and memory functions, and plaques of amyloid-β, a typical histological finding associated with Alzheimer's disease, in the animals' hippocampus.119, 120, 121 Consequently, these findings have inspired the development of gingipain inhibitors, which inhibit P. gingivalis' proteases. The inhibitors resulted in decreased plaque formation, bacterial volumes, and protective effects on hippocampus cells.114 Taken together, the literature suggests periodontitis to be a modifiable risk factor for dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease, and can therefore be an aim for therapeutic and prophylactic measures.122 7.2 Depression The role of bacteria may also play a role in the relationship between periodontitis and depression. Indeed, significant differences in the oral microbiome in depressed individuals have been reported. 21 taxa differed in abundance between the healthy and depressed subjects, and elevated levels of Neisseria spp. and Prevotella nigrescens were noted (REF: Variations in the oral microbiome are associated with depression in young adults.123 Animal studies support the notion that oral administration of lipopolysaccharide or live periodontitis-associated pathogens results in elevated inflammatory markers systemically, including the brain, and depressive-like behavior.124, 125, 126 A genetic relationship has been suggested. An elegant study investigated the role of crosstalk genes and neuropeptides in these two diseases. The neuropeptides adrenomedullin, insulin-like growth factor 2, prodynorphin, and resistin were identified as mutually expressed in both periodontitis and depression, also playing a role in identifying depression.127 Epidemiological data reports a 62.5% comorbidity rate of depression among periodontitis patients, compared to healthy individuals (38.86%).128 Another study, for 10 years, followed over 60,000 subjects and reported elevated depression incidence among the ones with periodontitis.129 Depression is influenced by psychological and social factors. Periodontitis symptoms, such as malodor, poor oral hygiene, and edentulousness may negatively influence psychosocial factors by favoring social isolation, shame, and reduced self-esteem, and thus contribute to depression.130,131 When a tooth is lost, it may be replaced by a dental implant, however, an implant may also develop peri-implantitis, similar to periodontitis. Ultimately, the implant may be lost. Several of the effects and disease relationships may be extrapolated from periodontitis to peri-implantitis.132 Periodontitis and peri-implantitis may be suggestive modifiable risk factors for depression, and if so, simple periodontal intervention and oral hygiene instruction may prevent or aid in the treatment of depression.133 7.3 Bipolar disorder Chronic inflammation has been reported as a factor in bipolar disorder. The relationship between bipolar disorder and periodontitis was examined from 2001 to 2012 in Taiwan. For bipolar disorder, an elevated risk was reported among the periodontitis subjects, compared to the non-periodontitis subjects.134 Higher bacterial loads of periodontitis-associated pathogens were reported in subjects with periodontitis and bipolar disorder, compared to patients with periodontitis but mentally healthy.135 These studies support a possible relationship between bipolar disorder and periodontitis, which warrants further investigations. 7.4 Parkinson's disease The biological relationship between Parkinson's disease and periodontitis is less understood. However, some studies do report an elevated prevalence of periodontitis among Parkinson's patients.136 Parkinson's disease causes motor disruption and cognitive impairment resulting from neuronal cell death in the brain's dopamine-producing neurons of the substantia nigra.137 Hand tremors and rigidity are common symptoms, which make it challenging to maintain adequate daily oral hygiene. The disease itself can arguably be a risk factor for periodontitis, however, epidemiological evidence supports that periodontitis increases the risk of Parkinson's disease.138,139 A protective effect against Parkinson's disease has been observed in patients receiving periodontal treatment over 5 consecutive years, compared to patients who did not receive treatment at all or for 5 consecutive years.138,139 Authors speculate that inflammation initiated and maintained by periodontitis-associated pathogens entering the brain ultimately contributes to or causes Parkinson's disease.140 Further research to elaborate mechanistic relationships and the influence of periodontal treatment on established Parkinson's disease may be interesting for future directions. 7.5 Schizophrenia Supportive literature on the relationship between periodontitis and schizophrenia is scarce. A few studies have reported that patients with schizophrenia carry an elevated risk of periodontitis and an even higher risk for those consuming antipsychotics.141 Cortisol, commonly implicated in periodontitis, has been ruled out as the levels were lower among schizophrenia patients compared to healthy ones.142 Interestingly, the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene's D allele is reportedly a protective factor against schizophrenia143 and periodontitis,144 and may prove to be a biological connection. In addition, the role of the oropharyngeal microbiome, the salivary microbiome, and periodontitis was suggested to potentially be associated with schizophrenia, and that periodontitis reinforces the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Moreover, saliva is a bodily fluid of diagnostic interest for several conditions,145 and may be useful in the diagnostics of schizophrenia as well, however, the current evidence is still limited.146 8 Social media influence oral health and mental health The impact of social media on mental health,20, 21, 22, 23 represents another mechanism of the mental health-oral health relationship. Social media constitute an array of web-based services allowing users to interact both verbally and visually.147 Social media use is particularly widespread among teenagers between 13 and 17 years old.148,149 This demographic is worrying as accumulating evidence supports social media's negative influence on mental health, as research suggests that half of the mental disorders are formed by the age of 14 and 75% by 18 years old.150,151 A recent systematic review highlighted that depression, anxiety, and psychological distress in adolescents correlated with time spent, activity, investment, and addiction to social media.152 Dental practitioners enjoy posting cases on social media,153,154 this may be interesting for dental professionals, however, the impact of such posts has shown an inclination among patients to seek cosmetic modifications for their smiles.155 Indeed, exposure to “ideal” facial pictures, increased smiles, and face dissatisfaction among young adults.156 Smile dissatisfaction and self-perceived need for dental makeovers affect mental well-being,157,158 and may lead to reduced social function and negative coping strategies; such as abstaining from showing teeth during laughing, eating, and in social settings.157,159,160 A severe engrossment of a self-recognized defect in appearance is known as body dysmorphic disorder. The engrossment is exaggerated as others do not notice the defect.161 Individuals affected by body dysmorphic disorder may present in dental practices, influenced by social media, seeking treatment that is unrealistic and not needed. Dental practitioners need to recognize the role of social media in treatment-seeking and to carefully evaluate the patient's request with one's clinical judgment.25 9 Management of mental disorders Several mental disorders are associated with oral diseases, specifically periodontitis, proposing a possible bi-directional relationship. Treatment and prevention of periodontitis may yield protective effects against several mental disorders.110,112,139,162 However, the management of patients with mental disorders is multidimensional and highly dynamic, needing individual assessments and management modifications from patient to patient and from appointment to appointment,27 making them a challenging patient group. However, in general, patients with mental health disorders should receive thorough oral and periodontal health information, hygiene instruction, education, and regular follow-ups, to improve patient's awareness, habits, and literacy.91,163 Multidisciplinary interventions may further improve compliance, dental fear, oral health, and habits, and contribute to a more positive prognosis.132,164 Dental practitioners should receive education on mental disorders, to better manage, communicate with, and identify these patients, as well as to cooperate with other health professionals. Dental health care should be integrated with existing psychiatric rehabilitation and preventive programs.82 Other health professionals should be educated on the impact of oral health on mental health and be aware of the need for dental services to achieve a fully and easily accessible multidisciplinary program taking the whole individual into consideration. 10 Future directions Several proposed explanations for the interplay of oral health and mental disorders involve dysregulated microbiomes, translocated bacteria, and systemic inflammation, among others. Future investigations should strive to elucidate the exact biological relationships, to develop new directions for treatment. An example is the gingipain inhibitor, COR388, for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, currently in a phase 2/3 clinical trial.114,165 Potential protective effects of periodontal treatment should be investigated by longitudinal studies with sizable populations for similar effects.132 The therapeutic potential of oral health interventions on mental disorders is a little-researched area that deserves further investigation. For patients with mental disorders, studies should investigate the effect of, and obstacles in, multidisciplinary interventions and preventive programs to guide management recommendations and guidelines. 11 Conclusion Mental disorders are indeed an expanding threat, which requires raised awareness, education, prevention, and treatment initiatives nationally and globally. There is a complex relationship between mental disorders and oral diseases. Various oral health problems are associated with mental health problems. The interplay of oral health and mental disorders involves dysregulated microbiome, translocated bacteria, and systemic inflammation, among others. Mental health nurses including physicians and dental professionals should be involved in the oral health care of mental health disorder patients. Therefore, multidisciplinary should be involved in the care of mental health disorders, and they should consider oral health care as an essential part of their care for patients with mental health disorders. Future investigations should strive to elucidate the exact biological relationships, to develop new directions for treatment. ==== Refs References 1 Søvold L.E. Naslund J.A. Kousoulis A.A.
