Description
Dental health is intimately related to nutrition and diet and a thorough understanding of these relationships, and the preservation of health is an integral part of dental practice. The focus of modern dentistry is shifting from the filling and extracting of teeth towards prevention of dentaldecay and disease. The changing undergraduate dental curriculum reflects these changes and patients are increasingly asking for information on the best way to look after their teeth. Nutrition, Diet, and Oral Health is written for undergraduate students, covering the information they need in thisfield during their courses, as well as postgraduate dental students particularly in paedodontics and the GDP. Developed to help the reader build an understanding of the relationship between diet and the prevention of oral disease, this book is well illustrated in full colour and includescase-histories, information boxes and recommendations for further reading.
