Ingestion of food may change the oral environment and effect oral health directly by both systemic and local mechanisms. Here role of diet comes to maintain the oral health and nutritional deficiencies or excess are just one among the any causes of defects in tooth development. Hence, dietary habits are very personal, so dietary advice must be personalised.
