Abstract

Good nutrition is crucial for maintaining periodontal health and preventing chronic diseases. Inadequate nutrient intake can increase the risk of periodontal infections and complicate wound healing. A diet high in sugar, saturated fat, and low in fibre can increase the risk of periodontal diseases. Conversely, a diet low in sugar, high in fibre, and with a high omega-6-to-omega-3 fatty acid ratio can reduce the risk. Micronutrients like vitamins A, B, C, calcium, zinc, and polyphenols can help prevent periodontal diseases. Probiotics and prebiotics can also promote periodontal health. Any changes in periodontal health should be considered a warning signal to control the dietary quality of patients.
