According to the latest statistics in 2025, Taiwan's elderly population over the age of 65 has exceeded 4 million, accounting for 18% of the total population, officially entering an ultra-aging society. With the advent of the aging society, the health needs of the silver-haired people are increasing year by year, and "oral health" has become an important issue that affects the quality of life. According to research reports, elderly people with missing teeth have delayed treatment due to the high cost of dentures, resulting in eating difficulties, malnutrition and social barriers. To improve this situation, the Kaohsiung City Government has launched the "114-Year-Old Elderly Denture Subsidy Program" in the hope that through financial assistance, more elderly people can have peace of mind and a healthy smile.
