How your teeth appreciate a diet rich in fish

Maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential for the good health of your teeth and gums . But in addition to this, we must not forget the existence of other factors that can be great allies when it comes to preserving the well-being of our teeth. Food is one of the most important .

That fish is good for health they have always told us since childhood, but that its benefits on the body also affect dental health is confirmed as great news. We speak especially of the blue fish. The vitamin D and calcium contained in it contribute to the development of our bones, and also to the good condition of our teeth. The high content of vitamin D in oily fish such as salmon favors the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, essential nutrients that strengthen our teeth and gums and protect them against common infections such as gingivitis.

OMEGA 3 AGAINST PERIODONTITIS

The benefits of the regular intake of oily fish in the prevention of dental diseases such as periodontitis are confirmed. Several scientific studies support the direct relationship between a diet rich in Omega 3 and a symptomatic improvement in inflammation and infection of the gums . Oils from blue fish have been revealed as the best source of Omega 3, which has established itself as a natural anti-inflammatory.

Therefore, a good recipe to prevent periodontitis begins by increasing the usual consumption (to three or four times a week) of oily fish in your diet. Foods such as anchovies, anchovies, sardines and other oily fish rich in Omega 3 unsaturated fats (DHA and EPA) should take on a special role in your diet. You will notice how the health of your teeth and gums improves.
