Synopsis

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

Mineral blends, typically composed of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and occasionally trace minerals, are scientifically validated for supporting the teeth body system. Teeth are primarily composed of hydroxyapatite, a crystalline structure formed from calcium and phosphate. Adequate intake of these minerals is essential for the formation, remineralization, and durability of dental enamel and dentin. Numerous studies demonstrate that calcium supplementation can improve dental health, particularly in populations at risk for deficiency. Magnesium also contributes to enamel formation and is necessary for the proper metabolism of calcium and vitamin D, further supporting dental integrity. Fluoride, often included in mineral blends for oral health, has a well-documented effect in reducing dental caries by enhancing remineralization and inhibiting demineralization of enamel. The scientific consensus, as summarized by the American Dental Association and supported by the National Institutes of Health, is that mineral supplementation—when dietary intake is insufficient—can play a crucial role in maintaining dental health. However, over-supplementation can have adverse effects, so balance is important. In summary, the use of mineral blends to support teeth is grounded in robust scientific evidence regarding the roles of these minerals in tooth formation, maintenance, and protection against decay.
