Chapter 1: Eating 101 ly ly ly




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




ly health?

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




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




c) Eliminating toxins through saliva
ly ly ly ly




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




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




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




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




ly the gums and mucosal lining. Without proper nutrient absorption, the mouth’s ability to
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly




ly resist infection and heal is compromised.

2. A dental professional is counselling a patient on overall eating habits. Which component of
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly




ly a balanced diet is most critical for maintaining healthy oral mucosa?
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly




a) High-sugar snacks
ly ly




b) Adequate protein and vitamins
ly ly ly ly




c) Low-fat dairy only
ly ly ly




d) Frequent consumption of acidic beverages
ly ly ly ly ly




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




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

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




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




ly wound healing. ly




Chapter 2: Carbohydrates ly ly




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




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




a) They increase saliva production
ly ly ly ly




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




c) They strengthen tooth enamel
ly ly ly ly




d) They neutralise plaque pH
ly ly ly ly




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




ly demineralises enamel ly




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




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




ly lowers the pH of dental plaque, causing demineralisation of enamel and initiating the
ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly ly




ly caries process. ly




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




a) Sucrose ly




b) Glucose ly




c) Fructosely




d) Xylitol ly
