Parents and caregivers are well-informed about the connection between sugar in the diet and dental caries. However, parents often have a limited grasp of the broader implications of diet and how nutrient-dense dietary patterns help to support the child’s oral health. Additionally, there is much confusion surrounding the association between ultra-processed food and dental caries in children and adolescents.
