Taking a bite out of vitamin D deficiency

Q: My teeth have been aching quite a bit lately. I went to my dentist, but he didn't find anything wrong. Do you have any ideas about what might be causing it?

JVW: It might be a sign you need more vitamin D. Some individuals with vitamin D deficiency develop pain in the bones, technically referred to as osteomalacia. This is usually fairly easy to detect by pressing your thumb or forefinger into your sternum (the bone in the center of your chest), your shinbone, or your forearm bone and determining whether or not it feels especially uncomfortable or painful when you press it.

But don't forget that teeth are bones too, so if you're having pain or sensitivity that isn't related to another cause, it's a good idea to check with a skilled natural medicine physician to determine your actual vitamin D levels and raise them if necessary. What is...granuloma tissue?

Granuloma tissue is a firm nodule or mass that forms as a result of chronic inflammation.
