Abstract

Good-quality nutrition is extremely important for everyone through their life course as it drives growth and development in children and helps prevent many systemic diseases in adults and malnutrition in older adults. Whilst a series of complex and interconnected factors play a role in dietary intake and nutrition, oral health is an important consideration, particularly the maintenance and retention of natural teeth as people age. This book will detail the relationship between oral health and nutrition, with a focus on the extremes of age, by referencing relevant scientific literature and discussing guidance produced by government and public health bodies.
