A dentist has warned that a lack of Vitamin D can cause a range of dental problems, including tooth mobility and gum disease.
A dentist has issued a stark warning about how a common winter deficiency can heighten the risk of serious dental issues and even tooth loss.
"Without enough Vitamin D, the body struggles to absorb calcium properly, which can weaken the bones, including the jawbone that anchors the teeth. This can lead to tooth mobility and even tooth loss if left unaddressed." "Left untreated, this inflammation can progress to periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease that can result in tooth loss."
Dietary adjustments: Incorporate foods rich in Vitamin D, such as fatty fish , fortified dairy products, egg yolks, and for vegetarians, fortified plant-based milks and mushrooms.
