Helpful Foods Vitamins and Minerals Which Help You Keep Your Teeth Healthy

Maintaining a beautiful and healthy smile often requires a lot of work, a person needs to maintain good health habits which will prevent the formation of bacteria which causes tooth decay, cavities and other complications but it doesn't end there, a regular checkup must be performed once every six months. This dental checkup will help remove small portions of food which may be trapped between your teeth, this portions of food cannot be removed by simply flossing and brushing and if you left them there they will start to decompose and will definitely cause bad breath and even gum diseases.

Today we're going to talk about foods which actually help you promote dental health by supplying all the minerals and compounds which are body needs in order to build healthy teeth, let's go ahead and talk about them:

Calcium

In order to have strong and healthy teeth you need a regular intake of calcium, posting can be found in foods such as milk (diary products), sardines, rice drinks, fortified cereals, canned salmon and dark green leafy vegetables.

Vitamin C

It has been estimated that nearly 1000 mg of vitamin C are needed on a daily basis in order to prevent diseases such as gingivitis which is the first stage of a serious gum disease which causes stroke, diabetes and even Alzheimer's.

Vitamin D

This is a vitamin which is crucial for those people over the age of 40, this because as we grow older our bodies don't absorb as much calcium as it did 20 years ago. You can find vitamin D in milk, fortified rice and soy beverages, margarine, salmon and our bodies can produce it after being moderately exposed to sunlight.

Fluoride

This is a key element for good healthy teeth, in the US authorities which are in charge of supplying the city with water have approved the use of fluoride to "enhance" water because it promotes dental health and it is harmless to people.

Fluoride in drinking water is not "harmless" -- it can cause a multitude of medical problems and has not been proven to prevent cavities. You also left out magnesium, boron, silica, and the other fat soluble vitamins, especially vitamin A and vitamin K. Do your research, don't just repeat back what you have been told.
