Discussion: nutritional aspects of oral health--new perspectives.
Because of the critical role of nutrition in developmental events, effects of nutritional excesses and deficiencies may be more significant than would be predicted by a steady-state model. Dietary choice is as important in oral health as it is to the health of the entire body, thus it may ultimately serve not only to prevent, but also to treat certain oral diseases.
