Restrictive
diets and poor eating habits can deprive you of the vitamins and nutrients
necessary for a beautiful smile.
It's
especially important to get enough folate, B vitamins, protein, calcium, and
vitamin C—all of which are considered essential for healthy teeth and gums.
"Poor
nutrition can affect your entire immune system, increasing your susceptibility
to many disorders and infections, including periodontal disease," says
Halpern.
