Oral Health and Dental Issues Support Group
You only have one set of teeth for life, so take good care of them. This is the place to discuss oral and dental care, good practices, dental office experiences, and general thoughts around those pearly whites.
Recently, I noticed some white spots on my son's teeth. He is 10 years old now. On seeing this, my mother told me that this is due to calcium deficiency. Now, we are planning to give him calcium-rich foods. I shared this problem with one of my friends. She told me that there are several reasons for white spots. Sometimes this can occur due to high fluoride level in the drinking water or nutritional deficiency during teeth development. She suggested me to take him to a dental care services in High Park and advised me to take the right treatment. I think she is right. So I am planning to take an appointment from there. I would like to know the nutrient rich foods that I can give him to maintain his dental health. Which is the best calcium-rich food? If anybody knows about this, please help me with your valuable replies.

1. Calcium
Calcium is one of the most essential vitamins for stronger teeth and our entire body, this mineral helps us to build good bones and develops it while providing a well structural support. In your mouth, calcium helps harden your enamel and strengthen your jawbone. You need lots of calcium for healthy teeth and gums.
What to eat: Low-fat dairy products, fortified soy and rice beverages, canned salmon or sardines (with bones), almonds, and dark green leafy vegetables are excellent sources of calcium. In addition to milk, good sources of calcium include cheese, yogurt, broccoli, and salmon.
