How Are Strong Teeth & Bones Good for You?

Strong teeth and bones are an indication of good overall health. The body will not operate as efficiently as it could with bones and teeth that are unhealthy and lacking in nutrients. A balanced diet that includes calcium, is the first step to improving the condition of bones and teeth.

Reduces Risk of Osteoporosis

• Osteoporosis, which means "porous bones," is a condition in which the bones are weak and brittle and easily break or fracture. Lack of exercise and poor nutrition increases the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Reduces Risk of Dental Problems

• Weak teeth cause serious dental problems including tooth decay, sensitivity, loss of a tooth and gum infections. Proper nutrition and good dental hygiene prevents weak teeth and all of the dental problems that come with having weak teeth.

Overall Health

• Weak bones and teeth are prone to breaking very easily. A broken bone is very painful, and will take several weeks, if not months, to heal properly. A broken tooth causes pain, dental problems and in some cases, disrupts eating patterns. Both add unexpected expenses and cause preventable stress.
