“…Almost all participants performed their own oral hygiene care and considered it good. This is consistent with research on older adults’ oral hygiene self-efficacy, which found a correlation with their self-reported oral health and self-reported satisfaction with oral health, among other factors ( Allen et al, 2022 ). However, only one of the dentate study participants was observed to have adequate oral hygiene.…”

“…Secondly, according to Baron and Kenny’s study [ 67 ], the independent variable, dependent variable and mediation variable are all required to be continuous variables for the classic mediation effect analysis, while the independent variables (SES) were categorical variables in the current research, this may influence the result of this study. Thirdly, previous studies also clarified the effect of self-efficacy [ 68 ], gender [ 18 ], smoking [ 69 ] on oral health yet were not shown in the current study, thus more researches are needed in the future to explore these variables’ (such as confounding bias) effect on the association between SES and self-reported oral health status among MEFC.…”

Background Driven by population aging and the rapid urbanization in China, many migrant elderly following children (MEFC) moved to big cities to care for their grandchildren. The purpose of this study is to clarify the mediating effect of social support on the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and self-reported oral health status among the MEFC in Weifang, China. Methods Multistage cluster random sampling was used to select the participants and finally 613 MEFC were included in the survey. The Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and the Chinese version of the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) scale were used for data collection. Descriptive analysis, Rao-Scott test, t-test and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted in this study. Results Mean score of GOHAI of the MEFC was 54.95 ± 6.47. The SES of MEFC exerted positive direct effect both on social support (standardized coefficient = 0.15) and self-reported oral health status (standardized coefficient = 0.22); social support exerted positive direct effect on self-reported oral health status (standardized coefficient = 0.17). Social support partially mediated the association between SES and self-reported oral health status [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.003–0.064, P < 0.05], and the mediating effect of social support accounted for 12.0% of the total effect. Conclusions Higher GOHAI score of MEFC indicated their better self-reported oral health status. MEFCs’ SES could exert positive effect both on social support and self-reported oral health status, while the mediating effect of social support between SES and self-reported oral health status of MEFC was established.

“…study exploring the relationship between reported self-efficacy and dental status among community-dwelling older adults in Singapore (n = 614) aged between 66 and 88 years old, it was reported that 75% of the participants had 21 or more remaining teeth, with a median number of 25, and 47% were denture wearers. 29 This cohort exhibited a high level of dental awareness, and nearly 70% of the participants reported visiting a dentist once or twice a year. Considering these findings, as well as global trends, 30 it is expected that an increasing older population in Singapore will also retain more natural teeth, which in turn implicates possible more complex oral health management in their dependent period.…”

“…The latest national oral health survey was completed in 2019; however, the findings are not yet publicly available. In a recent study exploring the relationship between reported self‐efficacy and dental status among community‐dwelling older adults in Singapore ( n = 614) aged between 66 and 88 years old, it was reported that 75% of the participants had 21 or more remaining teeth, with a median number of 25, and 47% were denture wearers 29 .

Oral health of the older population has long been overlooked in global healthcare agenda. Limited access to oral healthcare for dependent older adults results in poor oral health, negatively impacting their quality of life, nutrition and overall well‐being. Especially for nations experiencing rapid ageing population, efforts must be urgently made to integrate oral healthcare services into the current healthcare system and policy. Singapore stands out as one of the most rapidly ageing nations in Southeast Asia, achieving remarkable progress in the healthcare field, as well as advancements in social modernization and economic growth. It now faces the growing burden of the dependent older population and is required to respond to the complex challenges associated with providing holistic eldercare services and ensuring the well‐being of its ageing population. This narrative review offers an overview of Singapore's current healthcare policy and system development for the older population, with a specific focus on oral healthcare. The goal is to shed light on this underexplored area, highlighting the challenges that need to be tackled to improve the accessibility of oral health services for dependent older adults.
