Nutrition in Geriatrics

Edison’s words hold true even for us dentist. There is no separation of good physical health and good dental health. A diseased body contributes to a diseased dental state and conversely a diseased dental state often leads to a diseased or malnourished body. Nutrition and diet are important factors in disease prevention especially among the elderly population. Beauty is not only skin deep it is bone deep and its health depends upon the quantity and the quality of the food one eats.
