Abstract

Objective: To analyze oral health and its relationship with nutrition in pre-school children. Method: Descriptive observational study. Results: It was found that 40% of parents reported that their children always consume sugary drinks, 35% said they sometimes consume them, 23% said they rarely consume them and 3% said they never consume them. Conclusion: Diet plays an essential role in the oral health of pre-school children. The adoption of healthy eating habits from an early age can prevent oral diseases and promote better overall health. Education and implementation of policies that support proper nutrition are essential to improve oral health in this vulnerable population.
