If you're a new mother, your dental health might not be top of mind—but it’s more important than you’d think. According to the CDC, 60-75% of new mothers develop gingivitis or another major dental problem within a year of giving birth . [ * ]
In addition to gum disease, many new mothers experience dental issues like increased sensitivity, cavities, or weakened enamel.
The reason is that pregnancy and childbirth have a major impact on your oral health, depleting essential minerals that keep your teeth and gums strong
Here’s why your dental health might be suffering post-pregnancy, and how a good mineral supplement can help restore your smile.
Pregnancy Depletes Essential Dental Minerals
During pregnancy, your body directs essential minerals toward your developing baby. [ * ] This biological priority makes perfect sense; your growing child needs these nutrients to develop healthy bones and teeth. However, the redirection comes at a cost to your own mineral reserves.
A large-scale research review found that pregnancy significantly reduces maternal calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc levels, with these deficiencies continuing into the postpartum period for many women. [ * ] When these minerals are in short supply, your teeth and gums become vulnerable to damage and decay.

Common post-pregnancy dental issues include: [ * ][ * ]
Increased tooth sensitivity
Higher susceptibility to cavities
Gum inflammation and bleeding
Weakened enamel
Loose teeth (in severe cases)
These issues aren't just uncomfortable—they can lead to more serious dental problems if left unaddressed. The good news is that replenishing your mineral stores with a high-bioavailability supplement can improve your dental health after pregnancy.
Key Minerals for Post-Pregnancy Dental Health
Three minerals are particularly crucial for restoring your dental health after having a baby:
Calcium
Calcium is the foundation of strong teeth. During pregnancy, your body transfers approximately 50mg of calcium daily to your developing baby, drawing from your own reserves in bones and teeth. [ * ] This transfer can leave your teeth vulnerable to demineralization.
Replenishing calcium helps: [ * ]
Strengthen tooth enamel
Prevent sensitivity
Reduce risk of cavities
Support overall tooth structure
Magnesium
Magnesium works synergistically with calcium to build strong teeth and gums. Magnesium deficiency has been linked to higher rates of periodontal disease and inflammation. [ * ] Unfortunately, according to CDC data, more than 61% of adults are deficient in magnesium, with new mothers at even higher risk. [ * ]
Adequate magnesium helps:
Improve calcium absorption
Reduce gum inflammation
Support healthy pH balance in the mouth
Strengthen tooth enamel alongside calcium
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is another critical mineral for dental health. It’s the second most abundant substance in your teeth, behind calcium. Phosphorus helps rebuild tooth enamel and works with calcium to maintain dental strength.
Proper phosphorus levels help: [ * ]
Rebuild and remineralize tooth enamel
Strengthen the dentin layer beneath enamel
Support overall tooth integrity
Enhance effectiveness of calcium

Strengthen Your Teeth and Gums with BEAM Minerals
Pregnancy and childbirth are miraculous processes, but they take a toll on your body's mineral reserves—including those supporting your dental health.
That’s where BEAM Minerals can help. Our concentrated liquid supplements contain everything you need for stronger teeth and gums, in the right ratios, with rapid absorption. We make things simple: just take a 1-oz. shot of BEAM Minerals each morning. It tastes like water and will cover all your mineral needs.
For an even bigger boost, try swishing with a capful of Electrolyze ™ for 30 seconds after brushing. Saliva remineralizes your teeth by carrying minerals into the voids in your enamel, [ * ] and surrounding your teeth with mineral-rich liquid is an effective way to strengthen your teeth and gums.
Remember that mineral replenishment takes time. Most women begin noticing improvements in dental sensitivity and gum health within 2-3 weeks of taking BEAM daily, but full remineralization can take several months. Trust the process; the results will come.

FAQs
Can I take BEAM Minerals with my other supplements?
Yes, in fact, BEAM Minerals will enhance the bioavailability of all your other supplements.
What is the difference between Micro-BOOST™ and Electrolyze™?
Electrolyze™ is primarily composed of Fulvic Mineral Complexes . Fulvic complexes are small molecules that provide inter-cellular transport for nutritional elements into the cells and carry bio-waste out of the cells. Fulvic complexes are flavonoids , which provide many benefits in the body.
Micro-BOOST™ is primarily composed of the Humic Mineral Complexes . Humic complexes are large molecules that are extra-cellular, meaning they do not enter the cells but stay outside the cells. They are highly-charged molecules that attract, through their electrical charge, bio-waste, free radicals and heavy metals. They ultimately carry bio-waste out of the body. Thus, we call them “Nature’s Janitor”.
How many milligrams (mg) of an electrolyte (Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Calcium, etc.) is there in BEAM Minerals?
The quantities of each element in BEAM Minerals products are measured in “parts per million” (ppm), rather than the “milligrams” (mg). Here is the information which usually helps to understand the difference:
Milligrams (mg) vs parts per million (ppm)
In comparing our products to other supplements, people want to know how much of an electrolyte is in our products (like potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium). Usually they are looking for an amount in milligrams (mg).
We have a hard time answering that question, because the electrolytes (and other elements) in BEAM Minerals products are measured in parts per million (ppm). So how can consumers compare?
The answer is a little complex, but here’s the high points.
The electrolytes in BEAM Minerals products are provided in “trace” amounts that are completely dissolved and thus 100% bio-available, immediately introduced into your circulation when you consumed them and will produce and active effect.
When you take a 320mg pill of magnesium, your body is only able utilize about 12-20% of it as it takes some time because your body has to digest it first. Whatever is not dissolved gets processed out of your body.
When you take a capful of liquid Electrolyze™ and/or Micro-BOOST™, you receive approximately 5.22 ppm of magnesium in which 100% of the magnesium is immediately available to your body. In addition, an important to know is that the magnesium in BEAM Minerals products stay in your system much longer building up healthy levels as you continue to take it daily.
