Roughly 50% of people over age 30 have some form of gum disease<\/a>. With regular brushing, flossing, and visits to the dentist, gum disease is easy to prevent. If you want to raise your chances of preventing gum disease, even more, continue reading to learn about six vitamins and minerals that you can incorporate into your daily diet to strengthen your gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Calcium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Calcium is essential for building strong bones and providing adequate structural support. Additionally, calcium helps strengthen your tooth enamel and your jawbone. If you don\u2019t get enough of it, you\u2019re at risk for tooth decay and may even develop periodontal disease. In addition to milk, you can get calcium from cheese, yogurt, salmon, and broccoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Vitamin C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This vitamin promotes healthy mouth tissue and is effective at preventing gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease. With that being said, a vitamin C deficiency doesn\u2019t cause periodontal disease. Even so, patients with severe periodontitis, the most serious form of gum disease, tend to take in less vitamin C, which can worsen the condition. Vitamin C can be found in potatoes, strawberries, citrus fruits, and leafy greens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Vitamin A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To keep your mucus membranes healthy, make sure you\u2019re getting enough vitamin A. It helps your mouth heal faster and also prevents dry mouth, which puts your gums at a higher risk of developing gum disease. Vitamin A can be found in spinach, kale, carrots, egg yolks, pumpkin, fish, and liver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Vitamin D<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since vitamin helps your body absorb calcium, having an inadequate amount of it can lead to a severe calcium deficiency. Make sure you\u2019re getting enough vitamin D by spending time in the sun and eating foods like egg yolks, fortified milk, canned tuna, portobello mushrooms, and fatty fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Phosphorus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phosphorus works with calcium and Vitamin D to keep the teeth, gums, and jaws strong. It can be found in scallops, tuna, sardines, cod, and shrimp as well as plant-based foods, like soybeans, pumpkin seeds, and lentils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6: Potassium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dietary potassium improves the density of bone minerals by working in conjunction with magnesium to neutralize acid load and reduce calcium loss from the bone. Without it, you would have a higher chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease. Potassium can be absorbed through eating tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, avocados, lima beans, sweet potatoes, and prunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep your mouth healthy, make sure to incorporate these vitamins and minerals into your daily diet. This way, you\u2019ll be giving your smile the nutrients it needs to stay strong, bright, and beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
