Your teeth are so important, especially as an adult! You want to do any and everything you can to preserve them for as long as possible. Of course nutrition plays an essential role in the health of your teeth. For Vegans looking for Vitamin D from food, you may need supplements, at least during the fall and winter months. Be sure to check the labels, as some of the ingredients in the supplements may be derived from animals: Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 from lichen are vegan-friendly options.
