“…This corrective thought has to be implicated in the minds of the people consuming an unhealthy diet. From this study, it has been proved that higher frequency of people consume fast food for the taste it possess 24,25 . They showed an increased incidence of caries in multiple teeth in the oral cavity, where as there was a lesser frequency of caries in the population with proper maintenance of health and hygiene 26,27 .…”

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being of an individual and not merely the absence of disease or immunity status of an individual. An unhealthy diet is proven to implicate many risk factors for the incidence of oral diseases. Thus, there are various health education programs to educate people on the importance of a proper healthy diet, thereby reducing the incidence of oral diseases prevailing because of an unhealthy diet. Thus, this survey was done to evaluate the awareness of people towards maintaining a proper healthy diet. This study was done to check the awareness of people towards the risk factors and impacts of fast food on the oral health status of a person. This is a questionnaire based survey. An online questionnaire was shared among 100 dental students in Chennai. Based on the answers from the survey, the data was compiled and analyzed and based on the results of the survey, the responses were analysed through statistical analysis software SPSS version 20.0. The results of the study showed that 90% of the individuals who took part in the survey consumed fast food, out of which 78% of them were nonvegetarians. 91% of them were aware of the complications of having an unhealthy diet and what risk factors it possessed to the oral health of an individual. 40% of the individuals consume fast food at least once a week. 77% knew the causative reasons for the incidence of dental caries in an individual. Within the limits of the study, the study results showed that most individuals who took part in the survey consume food from fast food and they weren't aware of the impacts of unhealthy nutrition and bad hygiene measures. This survey had created an impact on the individuals by educating them on the benefits of having a healthy diet and proper hygiene.

“…22 sobre la salud bucodental y la nutrición en la primera infancia en zonas urbanas y rurales de Nepal se expuso que los niños de zonas urbanas tienen mayor prevalencia de caries dental que los de zonas rurales, pero que la caries severa se asoció con la desnutrición especialmente en los niños de zonas rurales 22 . Un estudio realizado por Grace et al 7 se menciona que la intervención educativa y la práctica de higiene bucal reduce el desarrollo y progresión de caries dental pero que no estaba asociada con el crecimiento infantil 7 .…”

“…problemas importantes: dificultad para comer ciertos alimentos y dificultad para tomar bebidas calientes 7,8 . Los principales factores de riesgo de caries de infancia temprana son: los años del niño y la frecuencia de consumo de azúcar entre comidas, además, existe otro factor como es la pobreza siendo considerado un determinante social a nivel global, por esto, es importante la educación que poseen los cuidadores y como prevención los hábitos que enseñan a los niños relacionado a salud oral, estos son considerados factores significativos 4,9 .…”

Objetivo: Recopilar información relacionando el estado nutricional y la caries de infancia temprana en edades desde los 0 a 3 años. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó la búsqueda de artículos científicos desde el mes de noviembre 2020 hasta el mes de enero del 2021 tanto en español como en inglés en base de datos como: Google Scholar, Scielo, Pubmed, Dialnet, Science Direct, con el uso de las palabras clave: caries dental, conducta alimentaria, lactancia materna, desmineralización, sacarosa. Incluyendo artículos originales, y de revisión bibliográfica. Excluyendo artículos que no pertenecían al tema de nutrición y caries. Resultados: La caries de infancia temprana comienza poco después de la erupción dental, se transmite con mayor frecuencia verticalmente (de la madre al niño), siendo el microorganismo más cariogénico el Streptococcus mutans. Se ha demostrado por varios estudios que la desnutrición no se relaciona con caries de primera infancia, pero si el consumo excesivo de azúcares, la lactancia materna y el biberón nocturno frecuente. Por esta razón, en los infantes entre 0 y 3 años de edad se debe utilizar pastas fluoradas (1000-1100 ppm de flúor) con el fin de eliminar placa bacteriana y la formación de caries dental. Conclusiones: Existe una relación estrecha entre la nutrición y caries dental en niños de 0-3 años, pero el factor más importante es la intervención de los padres en aplicar los cuidados orales en infantes; es importante el conocimiento de los contenidos de azúcares en alimentos, con el fin de evitar la aparición de la caries de infancia temprana.

“…The ability of the family economically to ensure food availability at the household level is also important to be assessed as an indirect variable related to child development. 11,7,12,13 Knowledge and skills of mothers as caregivers of children become important as primary caregivers in the family. The better the mother's knowledge and skills, the better the quality of her care in child feeding and child health care.…”
