Nutrition is the Foundation of Dental Health
Healthy eating is important for your child’s teeth! They need a mix of nutrients to grow and work well. Eating lots of vitamins, minerals, and other healthy foods helps fight infections like the ones causing gum problems. Plus, these nutrients can fix tooth enamel, keep it strong, and stop cavities.
- Calcium and Vitamin D: Calcium boosts teeth and bones, while vitamin D lends a hand. Get your needs from dairy goodies, fortified plant milks, leafy greens, and fish with soft bones - they're all great sources.
- Phosphorus: Found in eggs, fish, lean meat, dairy, nuts, and beans, phosphorus is key in teaming up with calcium to help build strong teeth and bones.
- Vitamin C: This vitamin is crucial for gum health, helping to heal mouth wounds and ward off other ailments. Citrus fruits, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, and spinach are excellent sources of vitamin C.
