Everyone longs for a pearly set of teeth and pink healthy gums. Normally, one who takes good care of teeth is most likely to have healthy gums too, since the vitamins which work for teeth work for bones too. Here are some vitamins which help the formation of strong teeth and gums.

Vitamin B12:

  Essential for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth throughout life and for ensuring that muscles work smoothly.

Vitamin C:  Vitamin C is a critical component of both basic body building functions and disease prevention. It is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of the body. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds and the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones and teeth.

Vitamin D:

  Calcium is an important component of a healthy diet. A deficit can affect bone and tooth formation, while overretention can cause kidney stones. Vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium.Calcium is one of the most important minerals for the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of the human body. Calcium is essential for the formation of and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones.

The teeth and bones contain the majority of the body’s calcium (about 99%). Teeth incorporate calcium in their structure in a manner similar to bones. Calcium is essential for the normal growth and maintenance of bones and teeth. Long-term calcium deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, in which the bone deteriorates and there is an increased risk of fractures.

Vitamin K:

  Vitamin K reduces the rate of calcium loss from the bones in osteoporosis patients by activating the calcitonin hormone that in turn down-regulates osteoclasts (bone cells that initiate bone mineral resorption).  Vitamin K also inhibits the ability of osteoclasts to resorb bone and inhibits the formation of new osteoclasts.
