Objective To analyze the value of the application of health education based on the organization of primary hospitals in the oral health care of the elderly. Methods A total of 110 elderly people were selected, all of whom were the permanent population of a community from January 2023 to January 2025. According to the difference of oral health care programs, 110 elderly people were divided into two groups, 55 people who only received routine health care guidance were included in the control group, and 55 people who received health education based on the organization of primary hospitals were included in the study group. The oral health care quality of the two groups was analyzed and compared. Results Compared with the control group, the disease cognition score, oral health self-efficacy score and quality of life score of the study group were higher (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of health education based on the organization of primary hospitals in the oral health care of the elderly can not only significantly improve the disease awareness of the elderly, but also significantly improve their oral health self-efficacy.
