The purpose of this study is to investigate oral habits, oral status, and dietary habits of a sample of women in Italy, highlighting the links between nutrition and oral health and discussing how oral health care professionals can integrate nutrition counseling that aimed at improving the oral health of their patients into their practices.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Materials and Methods\u2003In the period between February 2020 and July 2020, an anonymous questionnaire made up of 20 questions was administered to a randomized sample of 120 Italian women.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Most of women declare good manual skills in oral hygiene (50%) but just less than half of them brushes their teeth more than three times a day. Statistically significant correlations were found between frequency of dental checkups and dental mobility (p\u2009=\u20090.036), and halitosis (p\u2009=\u20090.006), as well as between frequency of flossing and gum bleeding. Correlation between the type of diet and oral health status showed more halitosis (\u223c21%), sensitivity (\u223c26%), and xerostomia (\u223c53.3%) for vegetarian and vegan women.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003More awareness need to be raised concerning oral hygiene habits, and regarding the importance of regular dental checkups. Brushing at least twice or three times a day needs to be encouraged and the valid support of dental aids has to be in the everyday domestic oral hygiene protocol, as scientific evidence demonstrates. Future clinical studies need to be performed on a more consistent number of vegetarian and vegan patients, to obtain more statistically significant results and support future research that will compare omnivorous, vegetarian, and vegan diets and their influence on oral health status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1735906","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,11]],"date-time":"2021-12-11T00:18:51Z","timestamp":1639181931000},"page":"557-563","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Diet
