Vitamins for strengthening teeth for children

The most important vitamins for teeth are:

• Vitamin A. It is important for bone growth, protein synthesis and the formation of new cells. With a lack of this vitamin, both the bones of the child and his teeth are affected. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to tooth curvature and the appearance of stomatitis, as well as a decrease in enamel strength. Also A lack of retinol can cause abnormal bite and tooth loss.
• Vitamin D. It participates in the mineral metabolism, affecting the absorption of calcium, so without such a vitamin, the bones and teeth of the child will be less firm and more fragile, and their development will be impaired. Lack of vitamin D affects the growth of bones and provokes the enamel thinning.

At the same time with taking care of the teeth themselves, it is important to take care of the condition of the gums of the child, because their diseases can also lead to the damage of the teeth and even their loss. For the gums of children to remain healthy, we need the following substances:

• Vitamin C. Its lack affects the condition of the gums, causing their bleeding and ulcerative lesions. As a result, the child has an unpleasant smell from the mouth, and the teeth become loose.
• Vitamins of group B. Among them, G12, B1, B6 and B2 are most important for the health of the gums, since their deficiency provokes inflammation in the mouth.
• Vitamin E. When it is lacking, the gums become inflamed, and their injuries heal worse.
• Vitamin PP. It protects the gums from the appearance of gingivitis, as well as stomatitis.
• Vitamin K. Its sufficient amount prevents bleeding gums.

The main sources of vitamins that strengthen the teeth and gums of children are food. To prevent diseases of the oral cavity and maintain the child’s teeth in his diet should be:

• Milk products.
• Wheat, oatmeal and other cereals.
• Butter.
• Eggs
• Meat products.
• Fish and seafood.
• Citrus, grapes, black currants and other fruits, as well as berries.
• Rosehip
• Cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, carrots and other vegetables.
