Nutrition and dental condition are associated with each other. Nutrition characteristics can have an influence on:
- Mastication mechanics
- Dental wear
- Dental health (caries)
Severe dental disease will cause oral discomfort but the impact on digestibility and the association with the development of colic problems yet lacks sufficient scientific evidence.
