<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYou may have heard that eating more vitamin C can help your teeth, but how much exactly do you need? The answer is, probably not a lot. Current recommendations for vitamin C are intended for preventing scurvy, and they may not be sufficient enough to prevent bleeding gums. This might explain why some people suffer from bleeding gums, while others may only experience occasional episodes. Although previous studies have touched on this topic, recent research has shown a connection between inadequate vitamin C intake and periodontitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many foods that are high in vitamin C. Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and orange juice are all excellent sources. Additionally, you should include several servings of green vegetables each day. Eating plenty of vegetables is important for good teeth and a healthy mouth. Vitamin C supplements are available over-the-counter, but most health professionals suggest eating whole foods instead. So what foods are rich in vitamin C? Try a few of these foods and see what works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it is beneficial for overall health, the risks associated with eating too much vitamin C are low. Taking vitamin C supplements, chewing gum, or drinking vitamin C-containing beverages, can help. However, they can damage tooth enamel if consumed directly. For optimal results, you should choose a form of vitamin C that protects your teeth, as well as the rest of your body. This form of vitamin C is more costly than the ascorbic acid form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
