Abstract:
The relationship between nutrition and dentistry has been longstanding. Today, dental healthcare providers need to broaden the definition of "dental nutrition" from a narrow focus on the relationship of foods to caries, periodontal disease and oral lesions, to concerns about the overall nutritional adequacy of a patient's diet. This article discusses some of the latest nutrition recommendations put forth by major United States' health organizations and comments on their applicability to dental patients.
