I have not heard of this association. I have heard, though, that those suffering from depression are more likely to not be able to practice good self care, including dental hygiene, which would lead eventually to decay. As long as your depression is untreated, I would expect the self care would be difficult to maintain, and the decay would keep progressing. That's the only connection that I can make.
