You know that you’re probably consuming some amount of calcium throughout your life. You also know that you should probably be a bit more focused on figuring out if your levels are on-target or if perhaps it is time to revamp your lifestyle habits a little bit. However, if you don’t know much about the basics, you may realize you don’t know at all whether you’re protecting yourself and your oral health or if you’re deficient. The good news is that it doesn’t take much education to figure out how you’re doing (or whether you need to make some improvements). Receive some help in the form of our quiz!
