Zinc has many benefits for oral health. It can help prevent tooth demineralization and gum disease and even eliminate bad breath. Research suggests toothpastes containing zinc ions neutralize volatile sulfur compounds and reduce oral smelliness.
It's also possible to increase zinc intake by taking a supplement or eating foods rich in zinc, such as pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, and cocoa.
