There is a synergistic relationship between nutrition, oral health, and disease. Nutrient deficiency may result in oral symptomatology. Oral conditions and systemic diseases associated with oral manifestations may lead to nutrient deficiencies as a consequence of compromised mastication and swallowing, pain, or discomfort. Health professionals must recognize the manifestations of these deficiencies, consider their causes and provide early treatment to prevent further compromise in nutrition status and to promote optimal nutrition, oral and overall health.
营养、口腔健康和疾病之间存在协同关系。营养缺乏可能导致口腔症状。与口腔表现相关的口腔状况和全身性疾病，可能由于咀嚼和吞咽功能受损、疼痛或不适而导致营养缺乏。卫生专业人员必须认识到这些缺乏的表现，考虑其原因并提供早期治疗，以防止营养状况进一步受损，并促进最佳的营养、口腔和整体健康。
