Abstract
Oral health is a critical aspect of overall health, and collaborative teamwork between nursing and dentistry plays a pivotal role in providing comprehensive care to patients. This research examines the significance of interprofessional collaboration between nurses and dentists in managing oral health. By analyzing existing statistics, case studies, and research findings, the study explores how teamwork between these two disciplines improves patient outcomes, enhances preventative care, and fosters better communication. The paper also investigates the challenges faced in this collaboration and presents strategies for overcoming these barriers to improve the overall efficacy of oral and dental care management
