Question: What’s the big deal with calcium? Is it really something that I need to be thinking about in regard to my oral health? Can’t I just worry about it later?
Answer: It’s not really something you need to worry about but definitely something to take into consideration. Without sufficient supplies of this mineral, you’re looking at weak teeth, weak bones, and problems you might expect from such issues.
Question: What should I do about this if I’m not sure about my calcium intake?
Answer: You can always visit your doctor to discuss whether you’re getting an adequate supply. As for your daily life, you should be consuming veggies that are a dark green color (they’re high in calcium) and other foods like yogurt, sardines, cheese, and milk!
Question: I don’t eat that many foods that are high in calcium. Can I take it in pill form?
Answer: While getting it all from a supplement isn’t ideal, we encourage you to do your best with your dietary habits. Then, rely on pill form for the remainder. You should be getting around 1,000 mg on a daily basis.
