This editorial comment examines the role of nutrition in oral health. The importance of protein, vitamins A, D, C and K, and of various trace nutrients (Mn, Mg, Cn, Zn and F) in calcification is stressed, even mild deficiencies of these essential nutrients being the cause of deposition of defective enamel and dentine. It is suggested that dental and medical practitioners should be acutely aware of oral signs and symptoms suggestive of nutritional problems.
