The Effect of Vitamin D Deficiency on the Mouth – Does It Cause Gum Inflammation?

Vitamin D is considered one of the most important vitamins, as it enhances the body’s immunity, strengthens bones, nerves, and muscles. Despite that, it is also one of the vitamins that has an effect on oral and dental health — including the gums.

What is the importance of vitamin D for the mouth and teeth?

Vitamin D plays a major role in oral and dental health, especially during the stages of growth and puberty. It is associated with a wide range of oral health disorders.

Adequate levels of vitamin D in the body improve the chances of preventing injuries or diseases in the mouth and teeth.

Does vitamin D deficiency cause gum inflammation?

Vitamin D deficiency causes an imbalance in the health of the teeth and their nerves, leading to defects in the enamel layer and in the dentin, which makes up the tooth structure.

As a result, these defects may increase the risk of developing and worsening tooth decay.

Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to higher rates of gum inflammation (gingivitis) and tooth infections.

Can adequate levels of vitamin D help reduce gum inflammation?

Getting sufficient amounts of vitamin D helps in treating any inflammation, whether in the teeth or gums.

The impact of vitamin D deficiency on oral health is not limited to gum or tooth inflammation; it is also associated with diseases such as certain types of oral cancer and cases of jawbone necrosis.
