Diet, Nutrition and Oral Health, 3rd Edition, by Carole A. Palmer and Linda D. Boyd, is a textbook designed as an instructional text, quick reference, and clinical manual. The work connects dietary principles with dental care to support preventive clinical practice.

The volume covers major nutrient groups, energy balance, and the direct impact of nutrition on teeth, periodontal health, and developing oral tissues. It also addresses nutritional priorities across the life cycle, spanning infancy through older adulthood.

Used in college and university courses, the book provides models, guidelines, and practical suggestions for performing patient diet screening and nutritional guidance.
