Abstract
The importance of women's oral health and its association with overall systemic health cannot be overemphasized. Poor oral health can have several detrimental effects on a woman's health across her life span. This article reviews the literature and describes how nurses, nurse practitioners, and nurse-midwives can incorporate oral cavity examinations into their care of women.Entities:
