Nutrition & Oral Health

Abstract

To maintain optimal health proper nourishment in the form of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins & minerals is required. There are numerous elements that play a crucial role in the complicated relationships between dietary practices, oral health issues, nutritional status, and general health.By affecting tissue structural and functional integrity, lowering resistance to microbial biofilm, and delaying tissue healing, a diet lacking in nutrients can accelerate progression of disease in one’s oral cavity. Poor dental health can influence eating habits and change dietary preferences, which can have a severe impact on the overall health. Improving one's health and quality of life requires identifying and treating issues with oral hygiene and nutrition.The article's goal is to review the data supporting the link between diet, nutrition, and dental disorders and to offer dietary suggestions for preventing them. KEY WORDS Nutrition, Nutrients, Oral mucosa, Periodontium, RDA.
