This book explores in depth the relationships between nutrition and oral health. Oral health is an integral part of general health across the life course, and this book examines nutritional and oral health considerations from childhood through to old age, with particular attention focused on the consequences of demographic changes. Current knowledge on the consequences of poor diet for the development and integrity of the oral cavity, tooth loss, and the progression of oral diseases is thoroughly reviewed. Likewise, the importance of maintenance of a disease-free and functional dentition for nutritional well-being at all stages of life is explained. Evidence regarding the impact of oral rehabilitation on nutritional status is evaluated, and strategies for changing dietary behaviour in order to promote oral health are described. Nutrition and Oral Health will be an ideal source of information for all who are seeking a clearly written update on the subject.

Four out of five Americans, and a similar proportion of people around the world, suffer from gum disease. In addition to increasing the risks of heart attack, stroke, diabetic complications and other life-threatening health problems, gum infections pose a particular risk to mothers-to-be. Pregnant women with severe gum infections are seven times more likely to have a premature or low birth weight baby, prone to serious illness and even death. Of the four million babies born each year in the US, more than 460,000 are born too early or too small. Drawing on more than thirty years' experience as a dental hygienist at the forefront of non-surgical periodontal care, Sheila is bringing a crucial message to expectant mothers. Pregnancy and Oral Health contains vital information and a simple, anti-bacterial self-care program that safeguards mother and baby against the dangerous consequences of oral infections, succeeding where the outdated methods of traditional dentistry fail.
