Oral Consequences of Compromised Nutritional Well-Being

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Nutrition and Oral Medicine

Part of the book series: Nutrition and Health ((NH))

Keypoints

  • Dental structures are influenced by nutritional status only during the period of tooth formation. Thereafter, deficient nutrition may influence the supporting structures of the teeth and the oral mucosa

  • Adequate early feeding programs in developing countries are important to avoid enamel defects and compromised salivary secretion, both of which may increase susceptibility to dental caries, the latter having more widespread oral consequences

  • The early signs of nutritional deficiencies are seen in the oral soft tissues and include thinning, inflammation, and ulceration. Malnutrition also impairs immune responses and may predispose to life-threatening diseases of the oral soft tissues such as noma

  • An optimal nutritional status is important in reducing the origin and severity of periodontal disease but is likely to be of limited value if the stimuli from dental plaque are not removed. Further research is needed in order to identify to what extent dietary modification will modulate periodontal disease and subsequent tooth loss

  • Nutritional status and oral health are reciprocally related, and each one affects the other— a downturn in nutrition impairs oral function
