There is no perfect diet that will keep your teeth from all harm, but what you eat can have an effect on the health of your teeth and gums. Eating right has benefits on two fronts: by supplying your body with the right nutrients, a healthful diet strengthens your teeth from the inside; and by limiting the foods that promote bacterial growth, it protects your teeth from outside invaders.

Building strong Teeth

Teeth are essentially a kind of bone. They are harder and more durable because they are on the outside, but the same nutrients that promote a strong skeleton promote strong teeth.

Calcium: The primary component of strong bone tissue is the mineral calcium. It gives the skeleton structure and hardness. It may seem that teeth, once they fare fully grown, don’t need any more calcium. Indeed, the most important item to ensure a proper amount of calcium in the diet is when teeth and bones are forming, but even after they are fully gown, teeth and bone still need to have an adequate supply. The body constantly takes calcium from bones and teeth and replaces it with new supplies. You should make sure that your body has plenty on hand. Getting enough calcium in the diet can seem difficult from those who don’t want to get too much fat. The best sources of calcium- daily products- are often high in fat as well. However, there are alternatives: low-fat as well. However there are alternatives: low-fat milk, low-fat and nonfat yogurt, some dark-green leafy vegetables, and calcium-fortifies orange juice.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D works hand in hand with calcium. It doesn’t add to the hardness of bone and teeth in itself, but it promotes the deposition of calcium I the skeleton. Without it, it wouldn’t matter how much calcium your body had available, because the calcium would not be absorbed into bone tissue. Vitamin D added to almost all commercial milk and many other foods are now fortifies with it. You body has the ability to make its own vitamin D also. The vitamin is produced in the skin when you skin is exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.

Vitamin C: Almost every ailment has been said to be “cured” by vitamin C, but here there is a real connection- connective tissue. Vitamin C is vital to the health of connective tissue such as your gums. In fact, one for the first symptoms of vitamin C deficiency, or scurvy, is weak, sore gums that bleed easily. Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits and some vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
