Tooth Health and Diet - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Nutrition for surrounding mineral tissue
      - sensory: extremes in temp, pressure, or trauma perceived as pain
      - protective: form reparative dentine to mend/ protect the pulp
- - - - Child's enamel is more acid attack resistant is consumed during dental development
      - Low levels in saliva encourage remineralisation
      - Reduces acid production ability of bacteria
    - - Antioxidant
      - Involved in collagen formation
        
        Vit C def causes PDL and bone loss leading to tooth loss
    - - 47% reduced risk of caries
      - Produces cathelicidin and defensins, antibacterial effects
    - - Bind to surface cause cells to cluster and change hydrophobicity
      - Inhibit rate of acid production
      - EGCG inhibits acid production and antimicrobial effects
    - - Calcium and phosphate encourage mineralisation
      - Casein prevents bacterial adhesion to the teeth
      - Consumption after acid returns mouth to neutral pH
    - - Chewing sugar free gum 3 times reduces risk of caries
  - - - Bacteria in the mouth metabolises sugar to acid which dissolve the enamel
    - - Reduces the pH in the mouth causing dental enamel to soften
    - - Contain sugars and lower the pH of the mouth
