Resumo
Dietary guidelines are intended to orient dietary
habits and policies for health promotion and
disease prevention. This article discusses Brazil’s
national dietary guidelines, aiming to identify issues
that can support the strategies proposed by
the National Policy on Oral Health. The two currently
available official guidelines produced by
the Ministry of Health were reviewed: the Dietary
Guidelines for Children under Two and the Population
Dietary Guidelines. The guidelines recommend
reduction in sugar intake, essential for
caries prevention, and other measures to prevent
tooth decay and oral cancer. These guidelines are
thus a key part of an oral and overall health promotion
strategy and should be integrated into
the National Policy on Oral Health.
