Fatty fish, Vitamin D and Healthy teeth and gums


Fatty fish like salmon and Atlantic mackerel are one of the few good food sources of vitamin D. Vitamin D is critical for oral health since it allows your body to absorb and use calcium, a nutrient that protects your teeth and gums from disease.

The vitamin D found in salmon makes it easier for your teeth and bones to get the full power of calcium from the foods you're eating.
