Did you know that apples are nature’s toothbrush?

Apples can gently remove plaque from your teeth by simply eating them. The fruit also stimulates an alkaline saliva flow, which neutralizes the acid produced by plaque after eating carbohydrate-rich foods.

Other oral health benefits of eating apples include:
They increase saliva production
Apples contain vitamin C to help protect the gums from inflammation, infection, and bleeding
Apples contain potassium to strengthen teeth and bone
Apples also help fight against heart disease and help you lose weight.

While they are high in fiber, it is important to eat them in moderation because they are high in sugar and acidity.

When you eat an apple:
Eat it with other foods to help neutralize the acidity
Rinse with water afterwards
Brush your teeth 30 minutes after eating an apple to minimize the potential damaging effects to your tooth enamel
Eat your apple in one sitting. Slowly snacking on it allows the sugar and acid to sit on your teeth for a longer period. The acid can cause tooth decay. It is no secret that daily brushing and flossing helps you to maintain healthy teeth and gums. However, your food choices also play a role in your oral health.

School is almost back in session!

Summer is almost over and the kids are heading back to school. You’ve probably already bought new clothes and school supplies, but have you considered your children’s dental hygiene? To protect your kids’ dental health, here are a few things you can do to provide a healthy start to the new school year.

Schedule a dental cleaning and checkup. Just like adults, kids should visit their dentist twice a year. Their teeth should be examined for any irregularities and a cleaning performed to get rid of plaque buildup. If your children are due for a trip to their dentist, now’s a great to make the appointment.

Toothbrushes should be replaced every three months or sooner if the bristles have started to fray. Letting kids pick out their own brush is great way to keep them interested in their dental hygiene. While you’re at it, you can also pick out a fluoride-containing toothpaste in your children’s preferred flavour and a roll of dental floss.

During the summer months regular routines often get thrown to the wayside. If this is the case in your household, now’s the time to re-establish healthy habits. For great oral health, children should brush their teeth twice every day and floss at least once.

Ensure your kids start the year with a healthy smile. Schedule their back-to-school dental checkup today!
