Nutrition and Oral Health

Nutrition and oral health are interrelated. Nutrition and diet can affect overall health and well-being as well as the development and integrity of the oral cavity and the progression of oral diseases. Likewise, oral disease impacts the ability to eat and nutrition status. Thus, the purpose of this book is to focus on the nutritional aspects, which may cause both positive and negative effects on oral health and its role on oral health for the prevention and control of dental and oral diseases.
