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.”
