Calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus all play a vital role in the formation and maintenance of healthy teeth and gums in both children and adults.

Calcium is an important mineral for the growth and maintenance of healthy teeth. It helps strengthen the structure of healthy teeth and jaws. However, calcium needs phosphorus to maximize its bone-strengthening benefits. Its consumption through foods such as milk, yogurt, cheese and other milk-based products is important to keep teeth healthy.

Vitamin D is another important vitamin for dental health. It helps to reduce inflammation of the gums which is associated with periodontal disease. A good way to get vitamin D is by sunbathing, as our body produces this vitamin when we are in the sun. Also, we can consume foods rich in vitamin D such as fish, eggs, milk and other milk-based products.

Phosphorus also helps maintain healthy teeth. It helps in the use of calcium by the body and in increasing the strength of the teeth. Phosphorus is found in many foods, such as meat, fish, milk and other milk-based products.

A healthy and balanced diet, rich in calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus, is very important for the health of healthy teeth. However, it is also important to make regular visits to the dentist and maintain good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing twice a day.
