The journey to recovery: unmet dental care needs in individuals with eating disorders
The study revealed ongoing unmet needs in dental care for the individuals examined. Participants' experiences revealed uncertainty, missed opportunities for empowerment, and the vital role of oral health in restoring hope and identity. Oral health professionals should offer compassionate, precise, and personalized support, integrating oral health into the broader recovery process to enhance confidence and overall well-being for patients with eating disorders.
