D Is for Dentist
Impress your dentist at your next checkup by getting your daily dose of vitamin D.
In a study, people with the highest blood levels of vitamin D were 20 percent less likely to suffer from bleeding gums during an oral exam, compared to people who had the lowest blood levels. Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce gum irritation. Get your D from salmon, enriched dairy products, or a supplement.
Get 400 IU of vitamin D and 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day
