Iron-Deficiency Anemia

Anemia occurs when there is an insufficient amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is the component in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body. An iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia. An iron-poor diet, blood loss and the body’s increased need for iron during pregnancy are factors that deplete the body’s iron reserve.

We try to help people understand this over at our dental blog.
