 If you think of nutrients that are good for your teeth, there is a good chance that the first thing that comes to mind is calcium. There is no denying that you need calcium in order to have healthy teeth and gums, but that is not all that you need. It is essential that you consume enough protein in order to have a healthy mouth. Not eating enough protein could put your oral health at risk. Phosphorous One of the most important things that is found in protein is phosphorous. It helps to build healthy teeth and bones. Phosphorus is also important when it comes to a healthy jaw. The best way to know that you have enough phosphorus in your diet is to make sure that you get enough protein. Sources of ProteinThe most obvious source of protein is from meat, but that is not the only place where you will find it. Milk and eggs are also high in protein. It is also easy for someone who does not consume much meat to get enough protein. There are plenty of plant based foods that are rich in protein and other nutrients. These include tofu, beans, nuts, and lentils. It is possible to get enough protein, even if you are a vegetarian or vegan. There is no one type of food that you need to eat for good oral health, and no one nutrient that will keep your mouth healthy. It is important that you eat a variety of foods, including those that are high in protein. If you have questions about what types of foods are needed for good oral health, we would be happy to answer them for you. We would also like to help you know which things you should eat in moderation. |
