Fish oil might help keep your jawbone strong after a tooth pull
NCT ID NCT07665918
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking omega-3 fish oil supplements after a tooth extraction helps preserve the bone in the front of the mouth. Ten adults with non-restorable teeth received omega-3, and researchers measured pain and bone changes over three months. The results are early and from a small group, so more research is needed to know if omega-3 truly helps.
