Oral Health and Vitamins: Exploring Nutritional Strategies for Disease Prevention and Healing
Abstract:
Oral health is influenced by various
factors, including nutrition and diet. Oral disease is a relevant public health
issue, which is considered a common disease in many individuals. In this
respect, vitamins may play an important role in the development and healing of
oral diseases while promoting dental and oral health. Additionally, they serve as antioxidants,
electron donors, or transcription effectors. They can be derived from food and
supplements, or in rare situations, our bodies or gut bacteria can produce them
on their own. It has been recommended that certain pathological conditions, such
as obesity, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, can be prevented and treated
with vitamins. Therefore, an approach to determine how various vitamin forms
could enhance dental and oral health is required to advance knowledge of the
possible advantages and disadvantages of using vitamin supplements.
