Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Calcium Magnesium Citrate is commonly used as a dietary supplement to support dental health, and its use is supported by scientific evidence. Calcium is a primary mineral component of teeth and bones, making up the majority of tooth enamel and dentin. Adequate calcium intake is critical for the development, maintenance, and repair of tooth structure. Magnesium, while present in smaller amounts, also plays a role in tooth health by contributing to the structural development of enamel and influencing calcium metabolism. Several studies have demonstrated that calcium deficiency can lead to increased risk of dental caries and periodontal disease. Magnesium deficiency has similarly been linked with poor oral health outcomes, such as increased risk of periodontal disease and compromised hardness of dental enamel. The citrate form of these minerals is used for its high bioavailability, ensuring effective absorption. While fluoride remains essential for cavity prevention, calcium and magnesium are necessary for maintaining the integrity of tooth structures. The scientific literature and major dental health organizations recommend sufficient intake of these minerals for overall oral and dental health, particularly in populations at risk for dietary deficiencies. However, direct evidence for supplementation beyond correcting a deficiency is less robust, and most benefits are noted in the context of an adequate, balanced diet.
