Vitamin D deficiency: problems in the bones and mouth

The Vitamin D it's essential to keep healthy our bones. When there is deficiency of Vitamin D can be generated problems in the bones of our body, including the mouth, because it plays a vital role in the the process of absorption of calcium and phosphorus. At present, it has also been evidenced that has an important role in the immune system.

What happens to the bones when there is deficiency of Vitamin D?

The deficiency of Vitamin D makes bones to lose density and become brittle and thin.


When there is Vitamin D deficiency in our body, can increase the risk of getting problems in our bones, such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia.

Osteoporosis and fractures

It's characterized by the decrease of bone mass and mineral density. The bones become more fragile and there is a high risk of fractures, with blows or falls. 

 

Our bones internally are porous. When this disease, the pores become larger and, for this, the bone mass decreases.

Osteomalacia

It's characterized by the softening of the bones. The bones are losing their hardness and produce deformities, due to the lack of calcium and phosphorus, caused by deficiency of Vitamin D. 

 

This disease of bone metabolism is evidenced with pains in the bones and muscle weakness. It can occur in older adults and, when it shrinks in children is called Rickets.

In our mouth

If there is deficiency of vitamin D the bones in the jaw of our mouth also are harmed. The bone of the maxilla is the one that keeps the teeth strong and if it weakens, we may also have problems with our teeth and loss of the same. 

 

In addition, Vitamin D helps calcium to be absorbed and our teeth need calcium to stay healthy.

Why can exist Vitamin D deficiency and how to achieve it?

It's possible that you may not have enough Vitamin D due to lack of sun exposure, the type of food that we consume, by absorption problems, problems in the liver or the kidneys, or medications that suppress their good absorption.


Vitamin D is obtained by our body through the skin, primarily with exposure to the sun. Can also be obtained with food (such as fatty fish, cheese, mushrooms, eggs, dairy, grains, among others) and food supplements, as prescribed by your doctor.
