SUPPLEMENTS THAT SUPPORT YOUR SMILE Protect Your Gums With These Essential Nutrients Brushing and flossing are a must, but did you know that what you eat (and what you might be missing) can make or break your gum health? Giving your gums the right nutrients can mean the difference between a strong, vibrant mouth and one wracked with inflammation and gum disease. Luckily, with a few simple additions to your diet, you can give your gums the boost they need! Vitamin C for Stronger Gums Vitamin C is essential for creating collagen, which helps maintain firm and healthy gums. A deficiency can lead to inflammation, bleeding, and discomfort. Studies show that people with low vitamin C levels are more prone to gum disease. Eating citrus fruits (in moderation) can help
boost vitamin C intake, and taking a supplement ensures you’re getting enough to support your gum health. Probiotics to Fight Harmful Bacteria Probiotics aren’t just for gut health — they can also benefit your gums. Gum disease often results from an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the mouth. Probiotic supplements introduce beneficial bacteria that help keep these harmful strains in check. Adding probiotics to your routine can also help prevent bad breath and tooth decay. Vitamin D for Gum and Immune Support Vitamin D plays a central role in keeping gums strong and fighting infections. It supports the immune system, helping your body combat bacteria that cause gum disease. It also reduces inflammation and keeps gum tissue healthy. If you don’t get enough sunlight or vitamin D-rich foods, a supplement can help maintain healthy gums. Omega-3s to Reduce Inflammation Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA and EPA, have potent anti- inflammatory and antibacterial properties that benefit gum health. Eating fatty fish at least twice a week or adding an omega-3 supplement to your diet can help protect against gum disease and keep inflammation under control. A little extra care goes a long way when it comes to gum health. Adding these supplements to your routine can help keep your gums strong, fight off harmful bacteria, and prevent disease. Pair these with regular dental visits and a solid brushing routine, and you’ll be flashing a healthy, confident smile for years!
