Abstract

This review is addressing the aspects of nutrition and diet as related to the oral health. Oral health is related to diet and nutrition in many ways, for example through dietary influences on craniofacial development and oral infectious diseases. In the modern diet, soft refined foods tend to cling tenaciously to the teeth and are not removed because of the general lack of roughage. Nutritional status and dietary habits can affect and be affected by all oral conditions. Nutrition interventions may be throughout of in terms of primary prevention, secondary prevention and tertiary precaution. Oral health cannot be exclusively maintained through one approach.
