Salmon, tuna, mackerel, trout, and eel are all great examples of fatty fish. These, among others, are excellent sources of vitamin D. This vitamin plays a critical role in teeth and bone health as it assists in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Both these nutrients make teeth stronger, healthier, and more beautiful. On the flip side, one of the effects of a vitamin D deficiency is dry mouth. Additionally, dry mouth is linked to more serious oral health problems like tooth decay and gum disease. To protect their teeth, one must make sure they are getting enough vitamin D, through fatty fish or other sources.
