#123: Nutrition: Vitamins and Minerals

Nutritional counseling is one of the tasks performed by the dental hygienist. Nutrition is a core component of overall health and assists the hygienist during the assessment process to meet the patient's needs. A strong correlation exists between nutritional habits - caries risk - and periodontal risk. Many patients are unaware of how their food choices impact the dentition. In this episode, we will review the Essential Vitamins and Minerals found in nature. We will review Function, impact, and foods associated with each of these vitamins and minerals. As I say.... "Those who know will grow."
