I Have Recently Lost Five Stone, But I Fear My Diet Is Rotting My Teeth. What Minerals Should I Be Taking?

Q.
Hi,

I have been following a famous diet plan for the last three years and attend its classes. I have successfully lost five stone but I have noticed that in the last three years my teeth have deteriorated, I’ve had to have three back teeth removed, have one crown and I’m now suffering toothache and crumbling teeth in my last back tooth. I’ve also noticed my front teeth getting weaker and feeling sharp parts of my tongue. Could this be due to the diet I’m following? Am I possibly lacking vitamins? I’m only 33 and really worried about losing my teeth. Up until three years ago I had pretty good teeth.

Thank you, any information yo can provide will be helpful.

It is difficult to say without seeing you, but obviously any good diet should provide you with the basic vitamins and minerals for life. Maybe you should consult your dentist about this diet plan and try researching what your current diet provides you with. Thanks.
