Abstract
There is an interdependent relationship between nutrition and health of oral tissues. 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. A review of literature
was to outline this interdependent relationship.
