Your teeth need calcium just like they do fluoride.
Low levels of Calcium and Vitamin have some dangerous side effects:
•The increased risk of the weakening in your Tooth’s structure which will lead to tooth decay and subsequent dental issues.
•Without the right vitamins and minerals, your mouth’s overall defenses may be down
Tip: Calcium supplements are better absorbed when taken in small doses (500 mg or less) at mealtimes (mayo clinic)
Which foods are most rich in calcium? Dairy products! As a bonus, sharp cheeses (such as cheddar) can also neutralize acidic pH levels to promote a healthier oral environment that reduces your chances of tooth decay.
Do yourself a favor and be mindful of your calcium and vitamin D intake. It is helpful for your teeth, but also important for bone health throughout your life.
