Abstract:

Tribal population inhabited lands for generations and developed culturally distinct ways of life that are intricately connected to their surroundings. Their geographical isolation, harsh living conditions, and lack of sanitation make them more prone to diseases. Oral diseases are some of the most prevalent health issues worldwide, affecting millions of people and contributing significantly to the global burden of disease. This is especially true among underprivileged groups, who often lack proper access to dental care and other essential health services. Raising awareness of the importance of oral health is crucial for improving health outcomes. Health needs of indigenous populations requires a complex and multifaceted approach.
