Abstract:   (120 Views)
The link between nutrition and health transcends mere systemic wellness, profoundly affecting oral health and revealing the complex interplay between food science and healthcare. Adequate nutrition is crucial for preserving healthy teeth and gums, whereas nutritional deficits may lead to oral ailments such as cavities, gum disease, and enamel deterioration. On the flip side, compromised oral health can also affect systemic ailments, including heart disease and diabetes, highlighting the reciprocal nature of this connection. Vital nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus are key for robust teeth and bones, whereas antioxidants and antiinflammatory substances present in fruits and vegetables foster comprehensive oral tissue wellbeing. In contrast, high sugar intake and unhealthy eating habits worsen dental health challenges, stressing the necessity of wellrounded nutrition. The fusion of food science and healthcare provides a comprehensive strategy for prevention and treatment, enhancing both oral and systemic health through dietary regimens customized to individual requirements. This crossdisciplinary view emphasizes the importance of incorporating nutritional advice into healthcare to achieve optimal wellness
