ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM?<\/strong> Think about your nutrition habits, and the habits of those you love and care for. Daily calcium intake is critical to great oral and whole body health. <\/p>\n The\u00a0most well-known calcium source is milk. About three\u00a0cups provides 1,000 mg. But if\u00a0milk\u2019s not your favorite, don\u2019t sweat it! Calcium is also found in leafy greens, seeds, nuts, and other great foods.\u00a0Here are some high-calcium foods, and how much of each you\u2019d need to eat to get 1,000 mg. <\/p>\n Obviously, you’ll want to mix and match each day.<\/strong>\u00a0Very few people eat a whole cup of sesame seeds!

It\u00a0can also greatly increase our risk of tooth loss!<\/strong> Our jawbone anchors our teeth, and if the jawbone isn\u2019t strong, teeth can become unstable.\u00a0In fact, people with osteoporosis are three times more likely<\/a><\/strong> to lose teeth than those with healthy bones. <\/p>\n Let us know!
