Various international health care organizations strongly recommend the implication of non-dental health care professionals in oral health. Consequently, nurses are currently often required to question their ability to manage patients’ oral health-related problems, as well as the very meaning of their management of patients in such situations. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the role of the nurse in the management of oral health. Professional associations and academic institutions involved in the development of nursing professional skills, and health policymakers involved in decisions concerning the geographical distribution of nursing personnel and adoption of laws in Quebec, act in a disconnected manner, independently from dental professionals and without taking into account the actual oral health care needs of the various categories of beneficiaries.The ever-growing elderly population, in a context of limited financial resources and other austerity measures, have contributed over time to diminishing access to oral health services, especially for vulnerable populations. Care orientation is fundamental to the nurse-patient relationship and nurses encounter many difficulties in addressing patients’ oral health-related needs, leading to various ethical and deontological implications. In the multidisciplinary environment of the health care system, it is therefore necessary to support nurses in their clarification of their contemporary role in the oral health of their patients.
