2. Why diet is impotent for oral health???
Every time we drink or eat sugary thing . Teeth
become under acid attack , because it will react
with bacteria in plaque
Acidic foods & drinks harmful that cause erosion
to enamel
Vitamins & minerals & fresh fruit help in prevent
gum disease that will lead to bad breath and loss
of teeth
3. What do you need for healthy teeth and gums, and why?
Nutrient What you need it for
Protein Tooth structure, mucosal/connective tissue development, and immune
Calcium Tooth structure; may enhance enamel remineralisation.
Phosphorus Tooth structure.
Zinc Mucosal/connective tissues and immune function.
Antioxidants Mucosal/connective tissues and immune function.
Folate
Mucosal/connective tissues and immune function; low levels are
periodontal disease.
Iron Mucosal/connective tissues and immune function.
Vitamin A
Mucosal/connective tissues and immune function. But be aware that
from supplements may result in gum problems.
Vitamin C
Collagen maturation and to maintain the integrity of the periodontal
mucosal/connective tissues and immune function.
Omega-3
Mucosal/connective tissues and immune function; modulates the
response.
Vitamin D Mucosal/connective tissues, immune function; may enhance enamel
B vitamins Epithelial cell turnover.
8. Effect on tooth
tooth decay is
happens when surge
react with bacteria in
plaque this will cause
cause acid formation
formation lead to
attack tooth & destroy

10. Effect on tooth
Erosion acidic foods and drinks can
cause gradual dissolving of tooth
enamel .
In such case PH is impotent
5.5 > cause erosion
A lower PH may cause erosion .
Erosion reduce the size of tooth & in
sever cases leads to total loss .
Extensive dental erosion requires
11. Role of diet in periodontium
dis.
If your diet is low in
the nutrients your
body needs, your
mouth may have a
more difficult time
resisting infection. A
12. Periodontal disease
Gingivitis, or
inflammation of the gum
tissue, is an early stage
problem. With proper
care, you can reverse it.
But if you don’t,
eventually the
inflammation will lead to
“pockets,” or little spaces
between the teeth and
gums.

14. Role of vitamins
various vitamins are
required for maintaining
health oral and periodontal
tissues. Nutritional
deficiency of vitamins
results in oral
manifestations such as
scurvy and rickets . dietary
vitamins C and E have been
studied for their potential
role in reducing oxidative
stress in the
periodontium. increased
15. Recommendations to boost oral health
Brush your teeth
Drink green tea
Chew xylitol gum after meals.
Eat mostly whole, nutrient-dense foods
Eat some raw, crunchy fruits and vegetables every day.
