Summary:

"Covering specific mouth and dental conditions such as ulcers, halitosis and tooth grinding, this book recognises the link between these conditions and systemic diseases. It provides a review of the basic anatomy and physiology of the mouth and teeth, such as biofilms, quorum sensing and cavitations, alongside information from current research. Discussing associations to systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and adverse pregnancy outcomes, the book offers scientifically evidenced protocol possibilities and a balanced viewpoint on subjects like coconut oil pulling and removal of mercury amalgams. With practical guidance and theory, Personalized Nutrition for Mouth and Dental Health is the go-to resource for nutritional therapists wanting to deepen their knowledge of mouth and dental health issues"-- Provided by publisher.
