The Role of Calcium, Vitamin D, and Phosphorus in Dental Health in Edmonton

Calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus are all essential elements that play a critical role in the formation and maintenance of healthy teeth and gums in both children and adults.

Calcium is particularly important for ensuring that the jawbones remain healthy and robust, providing the necessary support to hold the teeth securely in their positions. It's worth noting that calcium's bone-strengthening benefits are maximized when accompanied by adequate phosphorus. This dynamic duo is essential for the development of strong and resilient dental structures, particularly in growing children.

Vitamin D is a key regulator of the body's calcium and phosphorus balance and can enhance their absorption. Furthermore, vitamin D has the added benefit of reducing inflammation in the gums, which is associated with periodontal (gum) disease.

Maintaining a healthy diet is paramount for supporting good oral health. Below, you'll find a table highlighting some of the foods that are rich in calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus, all of which contribute to the overall well-being of your teeth and gums.
