Current research is based on analytical- documentary and conceptual method. In this course, primarily the Islamic Hadith (narrative traditions) about orodental healthcare were identified with referring to national data bank including Magiran, Hawzeh.net, Noormag, Jaame-al- Hadith, Jaame-al-Tafsir, Ahlebit Library, and Teb Library. After omission of Invalid narratives and discovery of authenticated and reliable narratives, various dimensions and axes of orodental healthcare were analyzed. Study on texts may indicate Islamic medical Hadith and narratives include some topics such as quality and customs of healthcare, clean nutrition and diet, intellectual intervention, and also orientation of spiritual and physical health in guidelines of orodental healthcare and these are some teachings that may be efficient toward improving healthcare in Muslim Communities.
