Its Healthy Mouth Monday! Vitamin D plays a very important role in maintaining optimum oral health! While Calcium is what actually strengthens the teeth, it cant do its job without the aid of Vitamin D. The combination of these two nutrients work to reduce bone resorption, which means they help maintain your mouth structure and ability to support teeth. Vitamin D also acts as an anti-inflammatory, which is very important in reducing periodontal disease. Studies have also show that Vitamin D stimulates the immune system, aiding your mouth in further protection against harmful bacteria! So go outside and get some sun for your oral health! #farmingtonfamilydentistry #danfarleydds #jonathanheatondmd #healthymouthmonday #vitamind
