Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus all play a vital role in the formation and maintenance of healthy teeth and gums in both children and adults. Calcium plays a role in making the jaw bones healthy and strong to hold the teeth in place. However, calcium needs phosphorus to maximise its bone strengthening benefits.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phosphorus aids in the preservation and regeneration of tooth enamel. Phosphorus combines with calcium to create hydroxyapatite, the primary building block of dental enamel. Phosphorus is crucial for the body’s complete absorption of calcium, as the human body cannot use calcium without it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eat a healthy diet including plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy products. Maintain a healthy weight. Get 1000 to 1200 milligrams (mg) of calcium each day from calcium-rich foods and take a supplement only if needed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium while boosting bone mineral density, so it’s crucial to get an adequate amount of vitamin D to get the most out of your calcium intake.
