A dental surgeon like all other health professionals must take care to do nutritional couseling for the patients so that they do not consume fruits which may be ladden with pesticides or other harmful chemicals which may cause harm to the developing fetus and increase the incidence of cleft lip palate, mental retardation or other developemental disorders.
