How Nutrition Enhances Oral Health

-Calcium and phosphorus are nutrients that make teeth stronger and reduce the incidence of cavities and tooth decay.
-Vitamin C helps the collagen in the gums to grow and protects them from disease.
-Antioxidants in food can help reduce inflammation and prevent gum problems.
-Eat plenty of watery, crunchy fruits and vegetables to clean your teeth and freshen your breath.
