Vitamin D for early cavities: a saliva study
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether vitamin D supplements can help improve the health of your mouth by looking at changes in saliva and the bacteria that cause cavities. If you have early cavities and low vitamin D, you may be able to join.
