Did You Know? When you don’t get enough folic acid in your diet, some signs may be frequent gum inflammation, gums that bleed, bad breath and even cavities. Folic acid, also known as folate and B9, is an important vitamin that helps our body produce enough red blood cells. This helps ensure that our cells are able to properly divide and carry oxygen everywhere that it’s needed, making it a key component in the operation of our brains, hearts and even gums.   Foods like *legumes that include beans, peas and lentils, are typically an excellent source of vitamin B9.
