Vitamin D is a core regulator of oral health. It supports calcium absorption, enamel formation, bone density, and the immune defenses that protect the gums from inflammation and periodontal pathogens.
When Vitamin D levels drop, enamel becomes weaker, saliva loses protective efficiency, and the immune system struggles to control oral bacteria. This increases the risk of dental caries, gingivitis, and progressive gum disease.
Deficiency is common due to limited sun exposure, indoor lifestyles, and dietary gaps. Regular screening, safe sunlight, balanced nutrition, and appropriate supplementation help maintain optimal Vitamin D levels.
Combine strong Vitamin D status with daily brushing, interdental cleaning, and routine dental checkups to reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease and strengthen long-term oral and systemic health.
