This is how dental implants are able to stay firmly rooted in your smile, so it makes sense that a bone-fortifying nutrient is associated with higher rates of treatment success. In addition to strengthening your jawbone, vitamin D also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Encourages faster healing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps prevent infections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contributes to regulating inflammation (which is linked to gum disease, the most common cause of implant failure)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, it helps your body function more efficiently so you can stay healthy and avoid complications during dental implant treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excellent Sources of Vitamin D<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people (particularly in the North) are deficient in vitamin D, so if you need to increase your intake, know that you\u2019re not the only one by any means. Pharmaceutical supplements can be an excellent way to maintain good vitamin D levels, but you should always talk to your doctor before taking anything over-the-counter. Other good sources include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sunshine \u2013 just 20 minutes outdoors on a bright day is enough for a \u201cfull dose\u201d of vitamin D.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cFortified\u201d cereal or milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oily fish like salmon and trout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Egg yolks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering replacing your missing teeth with dental implants, check your vitamin D levels. It could make a huge difference for your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plushdentistry.com\/meet-dr-faizan-ali.html\">Dr. Ali<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plushdentistry.com\/meet-dr-naira-t-kraipak.html\">Dr. Kraipak<\/a> (or \u201cDr. K,\u201d as she\u2019s known to her patients) understand the importance of having a reliable tooth replacement.
