Oral health needs of older migrants with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in developed countries: A systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: Cultural and linguistically diverse older migrants have high oral health needs and poor oral status and face a variety of barriers in accessing oral health care in their host countries. Recommendations to improve their access to oral health programs include building transcultural dental training into the educational requirements of dental students and developing oral health promotion programs that include culturally and linguistically customised information.
