One of the main goals of our diet is to provide our bodies with minerals, trace elements, proteins, salts, and vitamins that nourish, energise, protect, and strengthen it. This also includes those vitamins that are essential for healthy and beautiful teeth.

Vitamins

A vitamin is an organic compound that, although in small quantities, is essential for a living organism. Not all living organisms are capable of producing it in sufficient amounts, so they must obtain it in the form of a nutrient.

Vitamins are classified not by their chemical structure, but by their biochemical activity, and therefore a certain vitamin can be considered to have multiple compounds with identical effects, of which the six vitamer of vitamin A is a good example.

There are vitamins that the body is capable of producing under certain conditions., An example of this in humans is the relationship between vitamin D and sunlight. There are substances that are vitamins for one organism but not for another. An example of this is vitamin C, which most animals’ bodies are able to produce. Essential amino acids and essential fatty acids are not considered vitamins because they are needed in large quantities. The number of vitamins recognised by science has now fallen to thirteen.

Vitamin K

Vitamin K One of the important regulatory factors of blood clotting, thus playing an important role in dental care Prevention of gum bleeding and termination land. It also has a beneficial effect on the liver's detoxification function.

Some research suggests that it is also necessary for bone formation. Vitamin K plays an essential role in normal blood clotting; a deficiency can cause bleeding, even in the oral cavity.

It can be found in vegetable oils, herbs, spinach, broccoli, cabbage and even prunes. Fortunately, most ingredients containing vitamin K are also available in liquid form, so you can take care of the health of your teeth and gums even while quenching your thirst.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A helps maintain the health of gum tissue and tooth enamel. If the body is not properly supplied with it, it can cause damage to the enamel during the development of milk and permanent teeth. Furthermore, the skin and mucous membranes become dry and more prone to infection and inflammation.

Cracked lips can also be a symptom of vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is fat-soluble, so We find it in large quantities in fish oil, liver, egg yolk, butter, cream, and also in green leafy vegetables and yellow vegetables. Is.

Vitamin B6

If there isn't an adequate amount [of a certain nutrient], then strawberry tongue can develop, meaning the tongue becomes bumpy and atrophied in places, and inflammations can occur in multiple areas of the oral cavity. Like all inflammations, this also involves pain and sensitivity, and it doesn't spare the soft tissues of the oral cavity, thus attacking the gums as well.

Their supplementation can be most effectively achieved by consuming dried yeast, liver, fish, beans, peas, rice, lentils, and even full-value grain flakes.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is an extremely important vitamin for dental care and protection. It aids calcium absorption and incorporation into the tooth, thereby protects tooth enamel health If we have a deficiency, it can cause symptoms on the tooth enamel. If during the development of the enamel itself you do not receive enough vitamin D, then White spots may appear on the teeth, most notably on the molars, incisors, and canines.

It is very difficult to replenish a quantity that our body would need naturally, but We can achieve good results with effervescent tablets and as much sunlight as possible..

If possible, even on winter days, we should spend time in the sun during daylight hours, go for walks, sunbathe; this is good for our circulation and for our general well-being.
If we also want to support our vitamin D levels with our diet, then We will eat butter, egg yolk, mushrooms, caviar, cod liver oil, tofu and milk products fortified with vitamin D.

Vitamin B12

B12 vitamin not only prevents inflammation of the oral cavity tissues, butIt is especially important for babies, too, predominantly while breastfeeding. Fundamentally speaking, then A vitamin B12 deficiency causes pernicious anaemia, the skin is pale and thin, fatigue and weakness set in. In the oral cavity, the tongue is bright red and smooth, it can even be painful, while saliva secretion also decreases. Vitamin B12 It also helps us in treating viral diseases, such as herpes..

Furthermore, in the second half of pregnancy, the foetus uses a large amount of B12 from the mother's stores, and later obtains it from breast milk. If the foetus does not store enough and there is too little in the breast milk, the blood vitamin B12 level can drop significantly.

The mother needs to supplement the amount given to the baby. A child with a B12 deficiency can be sickly, become apathetic, lethargic, anaemic, and can also have developmental delays.
We can supplement vitamin B12 by We often eat beef, liver, pork, eggs, cheese, yoghurt, fish, or shellfish in a variety of ways.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C not only relieves, and it is scientifically proven to prevent gingivitis, which causes bleeding gums. If there isn't enough vitamin C in the body, bleeding gums can easily become a daily occurrence.

Unfortunately, our bodies cannot store vitamin C permanently, so it requires a continuous supply. Alongside dietary supplements, we recommend replenishing it through your diet. We can replenish it in an enjoyable and colourful way if We consume elderberries, tomatoes, parsley, blackcurrants, sauerkraut, kiwi fruit, and all sorts of other citrus fruits..
