You might think they were trying to sell you something. There is some science behind it, although it\u2019s true that this fact is a little misleading. You see, it\u2019s not the orange juice itself that can help with dental implant treatment. It\u2019s the vitamin D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious about how this works? Just keep reading. It gets even more interesting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Link Between Dental Implants and Vitamin D<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to know two things to understand the science at play here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Since dental implants are anchored to your jawbone, they rely on your jawbone\u2019s mass to stay planted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vitamin D promotes both bone strength and bone growth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The connection is really rather simple. You\u2019ll need a strong, dense jawbone in order to support dental implants. Vitamin D can toughen it up to help prepare it for your dental implants and stimulate growth to encourage a faster recovery. So it\u2019s not some sort of miracle supplement, but vitamin D will definitely give your jawbone a boost for dental implant treatment and recovery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Orange Juice Alternatives that Still Have Plenty of Vitamin D<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you\u2019re not the biggest fan of orange juice. That\u2019s okay! There are plenty of other ways to get vitamin D, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drinking <strong>whole milk<\/strong>. 1% and 2% milk also contain vitamin D, but whole milk contains the most by far.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standing in <strong>the sun!<\/strong> Sunshine is the best source of vitamin D. For optimal vitamin D intake, all you have to do is find a comfy spot outside and bask in the sun for at least five minutes a day. Just keep in mind that sunscreen will reduce vitamin D intake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taking <strong>supplements<\/strong>. It\u2019s easy enough to find delicious vitamin D gummies at the store. However, opting for a pill might be better, so you can continue to take the same supplement during your recovery period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorporating <strong>fish<\/strong> into your diet. The ever-popular salmon and tuna varieties are excellent sources of vitamin D.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eating deviled eggs \u2013 or more specifically, <strong>egg yolk<\/strong>. But deviled eggs are probably one of the tastier options for this source. Unless you can stomach the Rocky Balboa method and drink egg yolk straight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If <strong>red meat<\/strong> like beef, pork, and goat meat is your favorite, you\u2019re in luck! Carnivore-lovers can get vitamin D through these meats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or, if you lean more vegan, prepare dishes with <strong>mushrooms<\/strong>. Aside from oranges, mushrooms are an excellent plant-based source of vitamin D.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, simply changing your diet and spending a few minutes in the sun can go a long way towards securing a smooth dental implant treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I Get My Dentist Involved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Great question! You and your dentist can definitely team up for your pre-treatment regiment! Simply let them know that you\u2019re determined to have a successful dental implant treatment. They\u2019ll tell you how to give yourself the best possible odds. If you\u2019re concerned your jawbone is on the weak side, your dentist can take a look and recommend solutions. Basically, they\u2019re the pros, so don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Robert Mitchell is dedicated to his patients, which is why he actively pursues continuing education.
