The Surprising Link Between Your Oral Health and Heart Health
Can your oral health really affect your heart health? February is American Heart Month, a good time to consider how gum disease and daily habits influence cardiovascular wellness.
March is National Nutrition Month
Celebrate National Nutrition Month by eating a diet that is high in calcium. Dr. Hannah Baek believes that there is a strong connection between what you eat and your dental health. For instance, if you or your children drink calcium-fortified juices, milk and other dairy products like yogurt and cottage cheese which are all rich in calcium and vitamin D, you will be building healthy teeth and strong bones.
According to the National Institutes of Health, ”99% of the body’s calcium supply is stored in bones and teeth, where it supports their structure and hardness.”
