Abstract: (122 Views)
Dear Editor, disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods, cause widespread devastation and severely impact the affected populations (1). In the wake of such events, immediate medical attention is often prioritized, focusing on life-saving interventions and treating severe injuries. However, one crucial aspect of healthcare that is frequently overlooked during disaster response is oral health (2). Dentists can play a vital role in rapid response teams for disasters, providing essential dental care, preventing further complications, and contributing to the overall well-being of affected individuals (3). This letter aims to highlight the importance of including dentists in disaster response teams, share experiences from past disasters, and propose recommendations for effectively integrating dental care into disaster response plans.
