Abstract

Mouth being a reflecting mirror of general health often helps in early diagnosis of many diseases and disturbances. Like any other system of our body, oral cavity relies on adequate nutritional supply but with certain special cautions to protect the dental structures which in turn help for consumption of nutrients. In this way nutrition and oral health are mutually dependent and hence an extensive understanding of this inter relationship is essential for healthy life. This review reveals the essence of knowledge required to maintain high-quality oral and general health by precise diet.
