ABSTRACT

A nutritional insufficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or have enough of a nutrient. Deficiencies can result in a variety of health problems, including digestive issues, dental problems, skin issues, diminutive or faulty bone growth/development, and also dementia. It has long been recognised that there is a correlation between nutritional deficit and oral health. Oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people all over the world. Severe gum disease, which results in tooth loss affects 10% of the global population. Dental caries of primary teeth affects around 530 million children worldwide. A balanced diet supplying diverse vitamins, proteins, and minerals required by the body is necessary for a healthy mind and body. In today's modern culture, where all kinds of food are readily available, knowing what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat is essential. Excess of anything, whether good or bad, is always unhealthy, therefore understanding the basics of nutrition are crucial. Public health is critical to a country's development, and without a healthy people to contribute, the aim of development will be impossible to achieve. In order to avoid deficiency disorders, one must consume at least the recommended amount of all nutrients in their regular diet. Documentation of oral nutritional deficiencies is very rare and few. This essay will go through the effects of nutritional deficiency diseases and its effects on oral health and also highlight the effects of nutritional deficiency.
