Good Food for Dental Health: Water

Water Rules
Water, especially fluoridated water, is the best beverage for maintaining your oral health. That's because fluoride helps to make teeth more resistant to the acid attacks that can cause cavities. As of 2012, nearly 75 percent of the U.S. population had access to fluoridated water, so drinking water from your own kitchen sink can help prevent dental problems.

White Dental Fillings

Fillings that Enhance a Smile

Many patients are familiar with the amalgam filling material of silver-mercury used by dental practices for many years. They work as a restoration but with some shortcomings. The metals do not bond tightly enough, allowing decay to set in. Patients are not happy with the appearance of a dark plug that contrasts with the color of their teeth. It is not aesthetically pleasing and can be very visible when talking or laughing.

We do not use metal fillings at our practice, but offer modern composite resin fillings that bond very tightly to tooth structure to reduce the possibility of decay and also give added strength to the entire tooth. They can be made to match the shade of the natural tooth, making it invisible to create a pleasing smile.

Good Food for Dental Health: Fruits & Veggies

Fruits and Veggies Pack an Extra Punch
Fruits and veggies are an important part of any balanced diet, and they are also good for your teeth. Since they are high in water and fiber, they help to balance the sugars they contain and help to clean your teeth. Chewing also helps to stimulate saliva production, which washes harmful acids and food particles away from your teeth.
