Learn how to apply nutritional principles to promote optimal patient care! The Dental Hygienist's Guide to Nutritional Care, 6th Edition, explains how teaching proper nutrition can improve oral and systemic health. Case studies and clear, full-color photos and illustrations provide a basis for assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the care of patients. In addition, a solid foundation in nutrition prepares you for the subject’s increased emphasis on the NBDHE examination.

NEW! Incorporation of the latest federal nutrition standards and initiatives includes Healthy People 2030 and the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Clinically relevant applications to dental hygiene include a focus on patient education and dental hygiene considerations. Vitamin and mineral content is presented based on the oral effects of micronutrients. Case studies and Health Applications in each chapter demonstrate how nutrition concepts can be applied to specific patient situations. Robust practice opportunities allow you to test your comprehension and apply what you’ve learned. Key terms are highlighted in each chapter and defined in the glossary.
