Perception of the mouth and oral health differs depending on the individual and their health condition. Oral health is described as dependent on the socio-environmental context, however, outside of the experience of dental care services, this context is not investigated in the literature. This scoping review demonstrated that exhaustive understanding of the dimensions of the mouth and oral health has not been explored in published research for this population.
