Abstract
This comprehensive review examines the dental healthcare system in Saudi Arabia, tracing its evolution, current status, and persisting challenges. The system has evolved significantly due to government initiatives and technological integration, yet it grapples with issues like professional shortages, financial constraints, and disparities in access. Despite improvements in accessibility, geographic and socio-economic disparities persist, and oral health promotion remains limited. The integration of technology faces resistance, and specialized care for people with disabilities requires targeted strategies. Cultural and social factors influence oral health, and the system's response to the COVID-19 pandemic showcases adaptability and patient-centered approaches. Addressing these challenges is crucial for ensuring equitable and effective oral health service delivery in Saudi Arabia.
