Nutritional Strategies for Caries Reduction
Dental caries is a chronic biofilm-mediated disease that originates from the interplay of cariogenic bacteria on the dentition, diet, and environment.1 Dental caries is a major health concern, and its treatment and management result in some of the highest direct costs of any disease. The expense of treatment is directly related to the progressive nature of tooth decay.2 While caries is a serious disease, it is also entirely preventable. Diet is an important factor in the fight against decay. Recent advances in the understanding of dental caries pathology support the role of dietary control in preventing tooth decay and promoting oral health.
