The content of the education will include oral health in adults; the consequences of poor oral hygiene; things to pay attention to in oral health; demonstration of toothbrushing technique; and coping with care-resistant behaviors. Participants' questions regarding oral health will be answered during the call. The oral health education session is planned to last approximately 20 minutes.

BEHAVIORALreminders

Participants in the experimental group will be reminded to perform oral care at least twice a day, every day, and to rinse their mouths with water after using an inhaler. They will also be reminded to schedule a face-to-face meeting one month after the education.
