Abstract

Nutrition and health of oral tissues have an interdependent relationship. The well-being of the oral tissues, the quantity and quality of saliva and the dimension of taste depend on the intake of nutrients. Oral health determines the type of food consumed and ultimately the nutritional level. This review of literature aims to outline this interdependent relationship between the health of oral tissues and the nutrition.
