Strong teeth and healthy gums need the right nutrients. A balanced diet provides most of them, supporting your daily oral care.
Quick answer
The key nutrients for teeth and gums are calcium and phosphorus (for strong enamel and bone), vitamin D (helps absorb calcium), vitamin C (for healthy gums), and vitamin A and K2. Good sources include dairy, leafy greens, nuts, eggs, fish and fruit. A balanced diet plus fluoride and good oral care keeps teeth and gums strong.
