How Vitamins and Minerals Affect Your Teeth

Vitamins and minerals are essential for your body's well-being but they're also incredibly essential for your teeth. Tooth decay, pain, and gum disease can be directly linked to not having the proper nutrition in the terms of vitamins and minerals.

 

Calcium

Calcium is one of the biggest parts of dental health! Calcium helps reinforce your bones, as well as the hard enamel that surrounds your teeth. Calcium makes your teeth stronger, but if you do not have enough calcium in your diet, you are missing out on these benefits.

 

Phosphorus

Another key mineral for strong, stable teeth is phosphorus. This mineral helps your body absorb and process other vitamins and minerals such as calcium. Phosphorus plays a major role in the benefits of calcium described above.  

 

Fluoride

Fluoride is an incredibly important part of your diet! Fluoride is specially used to reinforce your enamel, allowing you to keep your teeth strong. Fluoride is found in toothpaste and in clean treated drinking water.
