It examines how the quality and quantity of daily food intake, including the composition of consumed foods and their usage patterns, affect tooth enamel and the oral microbiome. The article highlights the role of sugars, acids, and other food components—particularly sugary and acidic products—in the development of dental caries, enamel damage, and the proliferation of harmful oral bacteria.
