White Dental Fillings


No Mercury! No Metals! No Kidding!
White Dental Fillings Tucson AZThe standard filling material for many years has been an amalgam of metals, mostly silver-mercury. Metal is not the best material to bond tightly to the natural structure of teeth, so the filling would often loosen and allow decay to set in under the restoration. We use only modern composite resin fillings that bond very tightly to a natural tooth to virtually eliminate the chance of decay setting in. They add strength to the tooth structure for chewing all types of foods. The shade of the filling can be made to match the tooth, so the filling is no longer noticeable like it is for amalgam fillings.

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.

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.

Good Food for Dental Health: Nuts

Nourishing Nuts
Nuts contain protein which help strengthen and protect your teeth. Also, chewing helps to stimulate saliva production, which naturally cleans your mouth. Remember: Not only is a balanced, nutritious diet essential to healthy living, your eating patterns and food choices play an important role in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. You may eat with your eyes first, but your mouth, teeth, and gums are more than just tools for eating.
