    Correct eating habits have a significant impact on the condition of teeth and periodontal. The aim of the study was to evaluate the cariogenicity of the diet in a select group of young people aged 15-16 years old. The survey was conducted in June 2016 among 251 students attending middle schools in Szczecin (115 boys and 136 girls). The survey consisted of completing an anonymous questionnaire about eating habits and food intake that affect the formation of dental caries. The obtained results indicate a frequent occurrence among the young people of behaviors and food choices that contribute to the development of dental caries. These included the lack of regularity in eating meals (declared by 57.3% of respondents), frequent snacking between meals (declared by 72.8% of students), frequent eating sweets and sweetened products and drinking sweet beverages. Girls were characterized by less correct nutritional habits compared to boys, rarely ate the recommended amount of food, ate less regularly, drank less amount of fluids. While boys made worse dietary choices: they rarely than girls ate wholemeal bread, more often chose sweet cereal flakes, sweet yogurt and kefir and more often drink sweet drinks. Taking into account the observed irregularities, consisting of a significant number of improper eating behaviors affecting the cariogenicity of the diet, schoolchildren should be especially careful to take care of oral hygiene and participate in nutrition education. Additionally, dentists and dieticians should pay attention to the significance of good dietary habits in preventing dental caries and encourage their patients to correct their dietary habits that exacerbate dentition and periodontium diseases.
