Adequate nutrition is essential for maintaining good oral health. Minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus found in the diet constitute the main structural components of the tooth. Their inadequacy leads to absorption impairment, increased bleeding tendency, bone resorption, looseness, and premature tooth loss. Inadequacy of those essential minerals is associated with delayed tooth eruption and with enamel or dentin hypoplasia. Taking calcium without magnesium results in soft dental enamel, which cannot resist the acids causing tooth decay. In addition to magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus, adequate vitamin D is needed to maintain optimal oral health. Vitamin D exerts anti-inflammatory effects and helps in calcium absorption and bone remodeling. Moreover, adequate vitamin D status could reduce formation of dental caries by delaying its onset and progression. Here we summarize the oral manifestations of vitamin D and magnesium inadequacy.
充足的营养对于维持良好的口腔健康至关重要。饮食中发现的矿物质，如镁、钙和磷，构成了牙齿的主要结构成分。它们的不足会导致吸收障碍、出血倾向增加、骨吸收、松动和过早牙齿脱落。这些必需矿物质的不足与牙齿萌出延迟以及釉质或牙本质发育不全有关。钙缺乏镁会导致牙齿珐琅质变软，无法抵抗导致蛀牙的酸。除了镁、钙和磷，充足的维生素 D 对于维持最佳口腔健康也是必需的。维生素 D 具有抗炎作用，有助于钙吸收和骨骼重塑。此外，充足的维生素 D 状态可以通过延迟龋齿的发生和进展来减少龋齿的形成。在这里，我们总结了维生素 D 和镁不足的口腔表现。
