The use of traditional health promotion materials, such as leaflets and posters, remains valuable in community settings. These tools are cost-effective, easy to produce, and continue to serve as effective educational resources for adults, including the elderly. Participants in the control group will receive standard oral health information. No education sessions will be conducted during the 6 months till the final assessment. However, after the final assessment at 6 months, the control group will be offered access to the digital educational program.
