Hospitalized patients are at increased risk of oral diseases (such as severe dry mouth, ulcers, and fungal infections). A study conducted in a palliative care facility found that 62% of patients had dry mouth. Poor oral health can in turn lead to difficulties in eating and drinking, hinder communication, and increase the risk of infection, including hospital-acquired pneumonia.

In many hospitals, patients and medical staff cannot obtain effective and safe oral care products, which are essential for good oral health. It is recommended that selective patients bring their own personal care products, or ask relatives or friends to bring personal care products, and many hospitals have on-site chemists or stores selling oral care products.
However, in the case of an emergency (approximately 65% of UK hospital bed days), patients will not have the opportunity to prepare for hospitalization. Once they are admitted to the hospital, it may take a while for relatives or friends to bring in their personal care products, or they may not have anyone who can provide them with personal care products. Therefore, it is important to store appropriate items in the ward, including products that relieve dry mouth and help remove dry secretions.
