Populations worldwide are vulnerable to the virus, which is highly infectious in nature. With the consequential lifestyle changes resulting from lockdown and quarantine, compromised mental health was part of the repercussions that affected most people, including the public, healthcare workers, and those unfortunate ones who fell victim to the COVID-19 infection. This is a narrative review article that aims to dwell into and discuss the impact of COVID-19, focusing on neuropsychiatric implications and the subsequent provision of oral care. Articles were searched from online databases such as MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, and the keywords used to identify the papers were “COVID-19,”“Neuropsychiatry,” and “Dental care delivery.” Any conventional and effective prevention of oral diseases and self-administered care may be doubtful considering dental care access and delivery are not operating in the usual way during this trying time.  \nKeywords: COVID-19, pandemic, neuropsychiatry, dental care delivery  \nINTRODUCTION  \nDr. Wenliang Li, a renowned ophthalmologist in Wuhan Province, China, raised the first alarm of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in December 2019.1 Thereafter, with human mobility, SARS-CoV-2 virus has stormed through globally, causing a pandemic that chooses its victims regardless of races, sexes, and age groups. It not only posed a huge impact on the world economy and the people’s livelihood, but also strains the health care system and disrupts people’s daily lives.  \nCoronavirus disease 2019 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has been known to involve the respiratory system, primarily presenting as flu-like symptoms, and can be fatal in high-risk patients. Therefore, to contain the infection, WHO has recommended restrictions on movement and home quarantine for suspected COVID-19 cases and close-contact patients. Previously, a handful of countries had imposed total lockdowns to restrict the movement of the people and break the infection chain. The former is imposed to limit transmission and spread, while the latter approach has been adopted to deal with patients who are asymptomatic, or those with mild symptoms. There are various clinical manifestations that might present in the infected patients that include mild pneumonia, dyspnoea, hypoxia, or > 50% lung involvement on imaging among those with severe symptoms. All of them require quarantine and hospitalization.  \nSymptoms of a critical illness can affect other systems, leading to shock or multi-organ system dysfunction. Due to the consequences ofthe long and exhaustive lockdown, as mentioned earlier, the pandemic has caused tremendous stress, anxiety, and neuropsychiatric implications to both the healthy (family and society) and patients who survived the infection.1 One particular study has reported that 28.9% of subjects showed symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder post-quarantine,  \nCorresponding author: Ghee Seong Lim  \ne-mail: [g. s. lim@um. edu. my](g. s. lim@um. edu. my)  \nContent of this jou","cbCainJIiCr2f8ZE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainJIiCr2f8ZE","pdf",822459,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## COVID-19 background and public health measures\n## Neuropsychiatric and neurological complications\n## Impact on dental care provision","[{\"question\":\"What neuropsychiatric effects of COVID-19 are highlighted in the review?\",\"answer\":\"The review emphasizes stress, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder after quarantine, along with depression symptoms.
