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.

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.

The
Importance of Hygiene Visits
We recommend regular teeth cleanings by our professional
hygienist. Even meticulous brushing may miss hard-to-reach
places. Once plaque starts to form, eventually it will
harden into tartar, which regular brushing cannot remove. If
tartar develops below the gumline, you take the risk of gum
disease setting in. Research has shown that the advanced
stage of infected gums is linked to heart disease, diabetes,
and stroke. We want you to have overall good health, so
please take this recommendation seriously!

Have You Been Told You Need Gum
Surgery?
Surgery
may no longer be necessary to reverse gum infection. If your
gums are treated in the early stages of the problem, there
are very effective nonsurgical methods. We successfully
treat many periodontal cases without surgery. The treatment
is painless with our use of an advanced dental laser. It is
FDA approved, safe, and effective. The use of this laser can
also help to regenerate bone loss from years of gum disease.

Will You Need a Crown?
Sometimes a tooth is too decayed or worn away to be restored
with a filling. A crown will be necessary to save it and
return it to its full strength and functionality. Our crowns
are made from the highest quality materials and they look so
natural, you will not be able to tell it isn’t your own
tooth.

Preventing
Child Tooth Decay – the Easy Way!
Children may need supervision when brushing their teeth, to
make sure they do a good job. But even with good habits, the
grooves in the back teeth may be missed. As plaque forms and
bacteria build up, decay will set in. Any amount of decay
means permanent damage and requires a filling or a crown.
Is there a way to help prevent cavities from setting in?
Yes! One quick and easy application of dental sealants will
help. All the teeth are cleaned and sterilized. A thin
coating is applied to the teeth. It is clear or white and
not visible. To bond the sealant to each tooth, a curing
light is applied. No shots or drills are necessary. All the
natural tooth structure remains in place, and the sealant is
one of the best preventive treatments for both children and
adolescents. It will help them to keep their natural teeth
for a lifetime.
