How can oral-health professionals help patients achieve optimal mineralization of teeth and bones?
What will be an ideal response?
Oral-health professionals can help patients achieve the optimal mineralization of teeth and bones by educating patients on the importance of dietary calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium (which are an important part of strong bone and teeth formation). It is especially important for this message to be provided to children and young adults as peak bone mass occurs by the age of 30. Adequate mineral intake remains important throughout the lifespan, and especially in women following menopause to help maintain bone density and counteract bone loss. Encouraging all
patients, but especially children and young adults, to consume three to four servings of dairy foods daily and to choose milk instead of beverages such as soda and sports drinks is especially important. Finally, dental health professionals can explain the importance of fluoride supplementation.
