How Calcium & Vitamin D Prevent Tooth Loss

our nutritional habits have a tremendous effect on the health of your teeth. For example, studies have shown that calcium and vitamin D work together to actually prevent bone loss! Where can you get these essential nutrients? You can get calcium from:

  • Dairy products like cheese, milk, and yogurt
  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Soy beans
  • Calcium-fortified orange juice and other breakfast cereals

As for vitamin D, this can be found in:

  • Fish like tuna or salmon
  • Vitamin D-fortified foods or beverages like milk, orange juice, and cereals
  • Cheese
  • Eggs

We’re also sharing a video by Delta Dental that discusses why vitamin D and calcium are so good for your teeth.
