What your dentist won’t tell you to prevent cavities, bad breath, gum disease and have straight teeth.

The 8 MOST IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS for DENTAL health (plus why and how to get enough of each):

1. VITAMIN D

• Promotes calcium absorption
• Allows for production of antimicrobial peptides (kills bacteria + reduces plaque)
• Promotes saliva secretion (antibacterial, anti-plaque)
• Directly aids in enamel and dentin regeneration

Vitamin D protects against cavities.

Saliva from people taking 1,000 IU vitamin D/day:

◦ Remineralized teeth that were dipped in acid
◦ Nearly completely restored the hardness of teeth

Even low doses of vitamin D have been shown to cut cavity risk by ~50%.

Sunlight is the most important source of vitamin D.

>40 ng/mL (>100 nmol/L) in the blood would be optimal,

but almost no one reaches that amount, so supplementing is helpful.

5,000 IU / day can be a good start while monitoring levels.

I've written extensively about the important of vitamin D here:

The FREE vitamin that NO ONE gets enough of.

WAY beyond preventing colds, it enhances brain function, crushes stress and massively improves energy.

Let's talk about the multifaceted benefits of VITAMIN D:

2. VITAMIN K2

◆ Antimicrobial
◆ Supports tooth (& bone) remineralization
◆ Prevents bleeding

K2 status is inversely related to:

⬩Severity of gum inflammation
⬩Plaque index
⬩Bleeding
⬩Depth of tooth pocket

K2 is primarily in hard cheeses, egg yolks, and beef liver.

I also think supplementing can be beneficial if trying to optimize.

5-10 mg can be a good start, and it is very safe.

3. FOLATE (Vitamin B9)

◇ Important for immune defense of bacterial pathogens
◇ Prevents canker sores,
◇ Prevents swollen/inflamed tongue,
◇ Stops chapped lips, cracking of the mouth
◇ Reduces bleeding, gingivitis

Folate is in:

◇ Liver
◇ Egg yolks
◇ Green vegetables
◇ Orange juice
◇ Legumes

4. CALCIUM

Calcium is the mineral of the structural component of the alveolar bone and enamel, hydroxyapatite.

Most people do not get enough, getting over 1 gram daily would be optimal.

• Milk
• Cheese
• Fish bones
• Greens
• Yogurt

5. ZINC

Zinc supports the proliferation + differentiation of cells.

This is important in tissues that rapidly turn over, so the immune system, skin, tongue, gums, etc.

☆ Vital for proper formation of the tongue
☆ Needed for saliva production
☆ Reduces gum inflammation

I've written more on the importance of zinc, how it works and how to get enough + supplement here:

It heals the gut & skin, reduces inflammation & fatigue, and massively boosts sexual health.

That's just scratching the surface.

The benefits of ZINC are nearly endless:

6. VITAMIN A

• Promotes wound healing (preventing bleeding)
• Prevents gingivitis
• Required for glycoproteins synthesis (prevents plaque buildup)
• Increases saliva output

Vitamin A works with vitamins D and K2 to promote tooth regeneration

High vitamin A foods:

◈ Beef liver (maximum 8 oz / week)
◈ Egg yolks
◈ Whole milk
◈ Cheese

You can supplement, though it is a bit trickier.

I've written about that, plus the other benefits of vitamin A here:
@Outdoctrination
Dalton (Analyze & Optimize)@Outdoctrination
50% of people are deficient in this vitamin.

It heals the gut, grows the brain, can boost testosterone and gives us glowing skin.

These are the miraculous benefits of VITAMIN A, plus how to make sure you get enough.

7. PROTEIN

Teeth are not just minerals, they also contain quite a bit of protein, and without enough, the teeth cannot regenerate properly.

It's also:

☆ Needed for saliva production
☆ Needed for immune system maturation, defense against bacterial pathogens

8. VITAMIN C

◈ Vital for collagen formation - which lines the gums, mouth and is even in teeth
◈ Prevents gum disease
◈ Antioxidant, protecting all structural facets of dental health
Media image
17
High vitamin C foods:

• Fruits + fruit juices (especially orange)
• Peppers
• Greens
• Potatoes

You can also supplement. I've written about how to do so, plus the other benefits of vitamin C here:
@Outdoctrination

VITAMIN C:

⇨ Anti-cancer
⇨ Lowers stress
⇨ Renews skin
⇨ Improves sex life
⇨ Enhances energy & motivation
⇨ Crushes anxiety
⇨ Reduces sickness

& more.

Let's talk about the benefits of it, how to get enough and supplementation.

Thank you for reading through this,

consider reposting this post if you to spread the wealth.

It's crazy how little this is talked about, but this is really the foundation of dental health and could save people tons of trouble in the future.
