Can Taking Vitamins Help Your Teeth?

Do you want to feel confident about the strength and health of your teeth?  

The key may be a daily dose of the right vitamins.  

Like many other parts of the body, our teeth and gums benefit from the essential nutrients we consume. 

The power of vitamins for teeth and gums 

Have you ever wondered why your dentist always asks about your diet?  

It’s because what you eat makes a big difference in your oral health.  

Vitamins play a vital role in building strong, healthy teeth. 

Vitamins for strong teeth 

Here are some of the more important vitamins for teeth. 

• Calcium: Like strong bones, strong teeth need this; calcium hardens enamel. It also strengthens the jawbone. 
• Vitamin D: This vitamin helps your body absorb calcium, which otherwise would not benefit your teeth. 
• Phosphorus: Found in foods like meat, fish, and dairy products, phosphorus helps build strong teeth. 

Vitamins for healthy gums 

• Vitamin C: This is essential for healthy gums. Vitamin C deficiency can lead to gum inflammation and bleeding.  
• Vitamin A: This vitamin helps keep your gums healthy and maintains the soft tissue inside the mouth. 

A real-life testimony 

A longtime Concierge Dental Group patient we’ll call Jane once told us her gums were prone to bleeding even though she practiced good dental hygiene.  

After chatting with her about her diet, we suggested she increase her intake of certain vitamins.  

Within months of consuming vitamin-rich foods and supplements, Jane’s gums showed marked improvement. 

Her story is a testament to how important vitamins are to oral health. 

Complex terms simplified 

• Enamel: The outermost layer of the teeth—a protective shell. 
• Jawbone: The structure that holds your teeth in place. 

Why it’s more than just vitamins 

Vitamins are vitally important but remember: A holistic approach to dental health is crucial. Regular check-ups, proper oral hygiene routines, and a balanced diet are just as important.
