Vitamins to grow teeth

Vitamins for tooth growth belong to the Oral hygiene category and are intended as additional nutritional support for children during growth and development. Teeth, gums and jaw development depend on proper nutrition, hygiene, regular dental check-ups and sufficient intake of vitamins and minerals.

This category includes dietary supplements for children that may be part of a daily routine when support for normal growth, bone development, teeth and immunity is needed. Vitamin D is especially important because it plays a role in the utilization of calcium and phosphorus, nutrients important for bones and teeth.

Vitamins do not replace tooth brushing, fluoride toothpaste, proper nutrition or dental check-ups. In children, supplements should be used according to age, recommended dose and advice from a pediatrician, dentist or pharmacist.

Pharmacist’s advice

Vitamins for tooth and bone growth are used as dietary supplements, not as a replacement for proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. In children, always pay attention to age, product form and recommended daily dose. Do not combine several vitamin products without advice from a pediatrician or pharmacist, to avoid excessive intake of certain vitamins, especially vitamin D. If the child has a chronic disease, uses therapy, has allergies or already takes supplements, consult a pediatrician before use. Ljubica Barbulović, Master of Pharmacy
