Cariogenicity of food items and diet as well as factors that influence the cariogenicity are reviewed. The interplay of diet with other preventive measures also receives attention. Prevention through diet with natural sugar alcohol, xylitol, and beneficial bacteria (probiotics) is discussed. Finally, diet counselling for caries prevention for different age groups is summarized and dietary suggestions with health benefits are reported.
