    This study is observational, descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional; with a correlational level. The general objective was to determine the relationship between oral diseases and nutritional status in children from the 3040 Veinte de Abril Educational Institution in the Los Olivos district. Clinical dental examinations were conducted on the students, and their height and weight were recorded to identify their nutritional status. The sample size was determined through sample calculation, with a minimum of 107 children required for a reliable study. Therefore, a sample of 153 children from the educational institution who wished to participate and had informed consent from their parents or guardians was selected. Results: The results showed that 1.3% of the children were obese, 3.3% were overweight, and 42.5% had normal nutritional status, while 52.9% were underweight. It was also found that 50.3% of the children exhibited gingival bleeding, while 49.7% did not. Regarding the prevalence of dental caries, 95.4% of the children had dental caries, and 4.6% did not. Conclusion: The children from the 3040 Veinte de Abril Educational Institution in the Los Olivos district showed a greater relationship between overweight children and gingival bleeding, normal-weight children and gingival bleeding, and underweight children without gingival bleeding.
