Diet and nutrition in pediatric dentistry

Teresa A Marshall. Dent Clin North Am. 2003 Apr.

Abstract

Optimal growth and development are the primary objectives of pediatric nutrition. Dietary habits and food choices to support both oral health and systemic health are similar. Each emphasizes structured meal patterns and food choices. The oral health professional has a responsibility to screen for diet-related disorders and to treat or refer as appropriate.
