Nutrition and Oral Health


Nutrition is essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of oral tissues. A diet that is high in carbohydrates may be sweet to eat, but it results in tooth decay for all age groups. The bacteria in the mouth use these carbohydrates to produce acids that cause decay in tooth. During rapid cellular growth, nutrient deficiencies cause an irreversible effect on the developing oral tissues. Decreased intake of vitamins and minerals undoubtedly lead to mouth sores and periodontal breakdowns. Nutrition less diets also affects functioning of immune system. People with lowered immunity have an increased risk for gum diseases. The increased susceptibility to gum disease is due to the decreased ability to resists disease causing periodontal pathogens. 



The frequent consumption of fizzy drinks containing sugar not only put teeth at risk of decaying but can also cause erosion of the enamel due to their acidic content. The most effect of nutrition on teeth is the development of dental caries. It has been estimated that dental erosion is increasing nowadays and there is an existing link between the amount of free sugars intake and dental caries. In the other hand fermentable carbohydrates are also associated with dental caries. Maintaining an adequate calcium intake is required to ensure that our saliva has sufficient calcium to repair or reverse tooth decay in early stages. As we age calcium also prevents the loss of tooth supporting the bones in the jaws. Yogurt low fat ice cream puddings or frozen yogurt are calcium rich dessert alternatives.

6th Annual Congress on Dentistry and Dental Medicine paves the unparalleled venue to resolve these nutritional problems to make the healthier smiles better than ever. This exciting event is planned to be in Romania, in November 22-23, 2018. Be a part of this event to welcome the era of SMILE!

  1. Wow! What a great post. I think you should write more about dental treatment. I prefer dental saving plans to reduce dental treatment cost. As dental treatment is very expensive, these plans are more helpful when combined with dental insurance.
