Dentist Interview Question:

Is vitamin deficiencies can be seen in the mouth?

Submitted by: Murtaza

Yes. Not getting enough iron can cause sores at the corners of the mouth, and can lead to a sore tongue. Vitamin C deficiency causes gums to easily bruise and bleed, and may lead to tooth loss. Vitamin D deficiency boosts the risk of jaw fracture and gum disease.
