Minerals & Vitamins for Oral Health

Every patient I see is unique. Besides how well you brush and floss, your age, genetics, and other factors influence your dental health. An often overlooked component of this equation is nutrition — specifically the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

Vitamins and minerals provide the fuel your body’s chemical processes need, like for example, building strong bones. When the right “fuel” isn’t present, your health will begin to suffer.

As an experienced dentist, I want to talk to you about the critical role vitamins and minerals play in your dental health and the dangers deficiencies can cause.

“Dr. Patel and her staff are all very professional with a great bedside manner. They make every effort to help you understand your treatment plan and to make sure you are comfortable throughout the entire process. Their comfort care menu is a nice option to help you feel relaxed and calm. I highly recommend this office.”
