Overview

A vitamin is an organic compound required as a vital nutrient in tiny amount by the organism. Deficient vitamin intake can cause problems for healthy teeth. Healthy teeth and gums require a balanced diet and vitamin intake. There are several specific vitamins that are vital to healthy teeth and gums. These are A, C and D. Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble vitamins. This means they are stored in the liver and adipose tissue of your body and are not easily excreted. Vitamin A has a lot to do with the healthy formation of teeth and skin. It also aids in the formation and maintenance of mucous membranes and soft tissue. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and calcium absorption is necessary to develop and maintain healthy teeth and bones. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C promotes healthy teeth and gums, assists the absorption of iron and maintains healthy connective tissue. Minerals help build strong bones and it also helps build strong, healthy teeth. The two kinds of minerals are: macrominerals - calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur, and trace minerals - iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.
