Vitamins
and Minerals Important To A Beautiful Smile and Healthy Mouth
|
A beautiful smile and healthy mouth come from, in addition to regular
brushing and flossing, a daily diet that does not lack the vitamins
and minerals that make vital contributions to oral health. Many people
overlook the importance of good nutrition in keeping their smile beautiful
and their mouth healthy.
The mineral calcium and Vitamin D are of particular importance to healthy
teeth. These two substances work together, as calcium absorption is
enhanced by Vitamin D. Sufficient calcium is essential to the very structure
of the teeth, as are phosphorus and magnesium.
Vitamin A is an essential part of the production of tooth enamel. A
deficiency in Vitamin A can cause overgrown gums, bleeding gums and
gum disease. Vitamin C, because of its role in the health and function
of the small capillaries that bring oxygen and nutrients throughout
the body, is important to oral health. Vitamin C deficiencies can result
in bleeding gums and loose teeth, as well as mouth sores The Vitamin
B complex is also essential to mouth health, as deficiencies can cause
cracking and bleeding of the lips, as well as open sores and lesion
on both the inside and outside of the mouth. These open sores, aside
from the discomfort they cause, offer an opportunity for a wide variety
of bacteria, viruses and other contaminants to enter the blood stream.
Fluoride is widely known as an important agent in the prevention of
tooth decay and is the active ingredient in the vast majority of toothpastes.
In addition to acting to prevent tooth decay, it strengthens tooth enamel,
working in partnership with calcium and phosphorus. Copper, zinc, iodine,
iron, and potassium are other minerals that are essential to oral health.
It is unfortunate, but true, that most people do not eat well enough
to obtain all of the vitamins, minerals and other necessary nutrients
through diet alone. Failing to meet the recommended daily intake levels
of vitamins and minerals can result in significant health problems.
Therefore, if you find that you are consistently not achieving these
intake levels in your day-to-day diet, you may want to consider using
dietary supplements to meet your nutritional needs. Dietary supplements
are safe when used properly. However, they should not be used as a substitute
for healthy food, as they are meant to complement the diet, and work
best when they have feel food to attach themselves to. If you find yourself
unsure of which daily supplements you should include in your day-to-day
nutritional plan, a consultation with your healthcare professional or
a licensed nutritionist can help you to make the selections best suited
to your individual dietary needs and health goals.
While a beautiful smile and healthy mouth are certainly aesthetically
pleasing and uplifting to the self-confidence, attention to oral health
serves a practical purpose as well. Strong teeth mean that a wide variety
of foods can be eaten, a healthy mouth means that there are no open
sores in the mouth that serve as an invitation for bacteria, viruses
and other contaminants to enter the bloodstream to cause illness, infection
and disease. Making sure that your daily intake of the vitamins and
minerals associated with oral health is sufficient, in addition to daily
dental care, will ensure that you can have a lovely smile.
