Chapter 1: Eating 101 as as as




1. Which of the following best describes the primary role of digestion in relation to oral
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as




health?
as




a) Breaking down food into waste products
as as as as as as




b) Absorbing nutrients that support immune function and tissue repair
as as as as as as as as as




c) Eliminating toxins through saliva
as as as as




d) Producing energy exclusively for the teeth
as as as as as as




Answer: b) Absorbing nutrients that support immune function and tissue repair
as as as as as as as as as as




Explanation: Digestion breaks down food into absorbable nutrients. These nutrients are
as as as as as as as as as as




essential for maintaining a healthy immune system and repairing oral tissues,
as as as as as as as as as as as




including the gums and mucosal lining. Without proper nutrient absorption, the
as as as as as as as as as as as




mouth’s ability to resist infection and heal is compromised.
as as as as as as as as as




2. A dental professional is counselling a patient on overall eating habits. Which
as as as as as as as as as as as




component of a balanced diet is most critical for maintaining healthy oral mucosa?
as as as as as as as as as as as as as




a) High-sugar snacks
as as




b) Adequate protein and vitamins
as as as as




c) Low-fat dairy only
as as as




d) Frequent consumption of acidic beverages
as as as as as




Answer: b) Adequate protein and vitamins
as as as as as




Explanation: Protein provides the building blocks for tissue repair, while vitamins
as as as as as as as as as as

, (especially A, C, and the B complex) support the integrity of the oral mucosa. A diet
as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as




lacking in these nutrients can lead to conditions such as glossitis, cheilosis, and
as as as as as as as as as as as as as




delayed wound healing.
as as as




Chapter 2: Carbohydrates as as




3. A patient asks why reducing “fermentable carbohydrates” is important for cavity
as as as as as as as as as as




prevention. What is the best explanation?
as as as as as as




a) They increase saliva production
as as as as




b) They are rapidly fermented by oral bacteria, producing acid that demineralises
as as as as as as as as as as as




enamel
as




c) They strengthen tooth enamel
as as as as




d) They neutralise plaque pH
as as as as




Answer: b) They are rapidly fermented by oral bacteria, producing acid that
as as as as as as as as as as as




as demineralises enamel as




Explanation: Fermentable carbohydrates (e.g., sucrose, glucose, fructose) are broken
as as as as as as as as




down by cariogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, leading to acid production.
as as as as as as as as as as as as




This acid lowers the pH of dental plaque, causing demineralisation of enamel and
as as as as as as as as as as as as as




initiating the caries process.
as as as as




4. Which type of carbohydrate has the lowest cariogenic potential when consumed alone?
as as as as as as as as as as as




a) Sucrose
as




b) Glucoseas
