Why Protein Matters for Your Health

Protein is an essential nutrient that plays a big role in keeping your body strong, but did you know it also helps maintain a healthy smile?

What Does Protein Do?

Protein helps your body:

• Build and repair tissues
• Support muscle strength
• Boost your immune system
• Aid healing after dental procedures

Protein is important for:

Healthy gums – helps repair and maintain gum tissue

Faster healing – especially after extractions or surgery

Stronger defense against infections

A lack of protein can lead to delayed healing, gum problems, and increased risk of infection.

Best Sources of Protein

Include a variety of protein-rich foods in your diet:

• Eggs
• Fish and chicken
• Lean meat
• Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt)
• Beans, lentils, and nuts

Balance is key, combine protein with good oral hygiene habits like brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits.

A healthy diet supports a healthy smile. Getting enough protein every day can make a big difference in your overall wellbeing and your oral health.
