Like most nutrients that your body uses, calcium is transported in your blood from sources of calcium in your body. Bone is the main store of calcium, and when your diet is low in calcium, blood vessels in your bones transport calcium to the places where it is needed. Despite common misconception, pregnancy and breast feeding, your body's requirements for calcium, and bone conditions such as osteoporosis, are not directly related to the mineral content in your teeth.

Yes. "Capped teeth" (crowns) can be treated with Anti Infective Periodontal Therapy just like natural teeth if they have periodontal problems. If the problem is caries (decay), the crown may need to be removed and/or remade after removing the carious lesion under the crown. The major cause of adult tooth loss, whether natural or artificial (including crowns and implants), is periodontal disease. In natural teeth, it's called periodontitis (Latin for an inflammation around the tooth). See similar questions...

Decay happens when sugars in food and drinks react with the bacteria in plaque, forming acids. Every time you eat or drink anything containing sugars, the bacteria reacts with it to form acid. These acids attack the teeth and start to dissolve the enamel. The attacks can last for an hour after eating or drinking, before the natural salts in your saliva cause the enamel to ‘remineralise’ and harden again. See similar questions...

It is very important to maintain the baby teeth because these teeth hold space for the future eruption of the permanent teeth. If a baby tooth decays or is removed too early, the space necessary for the permanent teeth is lost and can only be regained through orthodontic treatment. Infected baby teeth can cause the permanent teeth to develop improperly resulting in stains, pits and weaker teeth. See similar questions...

The biting surfaces of the teeth and the surfaces between the teeth are most likely to decay, as food and plaque can become stuck in these areas. See similar questions...

the adult molars appear, and if the tooth is free of decay, a ‘fissure sealant’ can be used to protect the tooth. The sealant is a plastic coating that fills all the little crevices in the tooth surface, creating a flat surface that is easier to clean. This is called a ‘pit and fissure sealant’. Adults can also have this treatment if the teeth are free of decay. See similar questions...

Green leafy vegetables such as kale are as good or better than milk as calcium sources. Other good sources include: White/Wholemeal bread, Taco Shells, Oats, Soyabeans, Tofu, Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Pistachios, Sunflower Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Flax Seed, Carob, Carrots, Cabbage, Garlic, Parsley Spirulina, Chives, Seaweed, Cauliflower, Okra, Cassava, Figs, Papaya, Rhubarb, Molasses..

The calcium in dairy products is not absorbed into the body as easily as that in many dark green leafy vegetables. For example, calcium is much more easily absorbed from kale than cow’s milk. However, while spinach contains a lot of calcium, it is bound to a substance called oxalate which inhibits calcium absorption, so it is important to obtain calcium from low-oxalate green vegetables (eg broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, watercress).

Coral calcium contains magnesium. Magnesium is important in aiding calcium to be absorbed into the body. If magnesium was not present the body would not be able to absorb calcium efficiently and the beneficial qualities of calcium would be wasted. See similar questions...

Tooth decay is a bacterial process that is fueled primarily by simple sugars. Tooth decay can usually be prevented by regular thorough brushing, flossing and the use of fluoride and dental sealants. Simple sugars can be found in things such as candy, gum and pop. The general rule is: 'the stickier it is, the worse it is." See similar questions...

Dairy products are undoubtedly a good source of calcium but by no means the only source. Dark green leafy vegetables (especially kale and broccoli), nuts and seeds (especially almonds and seseame seeds), fish (especially soft bones in canned fish) and many other wholefoods are excellent sources of this mineral.

For the first 48 hours, it is important NOT to eat foods which can stain your teeth. After this initial period the chance of staining your teeth is not increased following whitening. See similar questions...

Tooth decay is mostly preventable. The simplest way to keep teeth healthy is to keep them clean. You can do that by brushing your baby’s teeth twice daily. A major cause of tooth decay in infants results from allowing the teeth to have ongoing exposure to beverages such as milk (whether from the bottle or breast), juice or formula, all of which contain sugar. This occurs when the bottle and sippy cup are used as soothers, to calm a child. See similar questions...

The decomposition of wood by fungi. ? Advanced Decay - The older stage of decay in which destruction is readily recognized by soft, pitted, or crumbly areas. Decided discoloration or bleaching of the rotted wood is often apparent. ? Incipient Decay - The early stage of decay that has not proceeded far enough to soften or otherwise perceptibly impair the hardness of the wood. It is usually accompanied by a slight discoloration or bleaching of the wood. See similar questions...

EZorb Calcium is made of organic compounds. Unlike inorganic calcium sources such as calcium carbonate, calcium citrate or calcium gluconate, which are easily found in the earth as reefs, rocks or limestone, EZorb Calcium is scientifically synthesized based on Elixir Industry's proprietary technology, and is guaranteed to be soluble for absorption and subsequent bio-utilization.

EZorb Calcium is of paramount importance for children and teens for developing strong bones and teeth. Pregnant women and nursing mothers are encouraged to take EZorb, as they need to absorb extra calcium for their babies. For adults and seniors, EZorb is critical for promoting healthy bone, joint and muscle metabolism. EZorb also helps speed up recovery from accident or surgery. See similar questions...
