False: There is no scientific, verifiable data that suggests vitamin supplements in any way affect or interfere with dental restorations. Go ahead and supplement as needed, but make sure you consult with your physician on how much to take. There is a lot of false information out there on vitamin supplementation, and unless it is backed by peer reviewed, double blind studies, it may be bad information.

Methyl B12: I recommend keeping your serum level above 550 using sublingual methyl B12 if you have symptoms ( neuropathy / sensory ataxia / sub cortical cognitive / memory decline or symptoms of megaloblastic anemia )
