There is an old expression "An
Apple a day keeps the doctor away". It is true for keeping the dentist
away too.
Besides the fact it rhymes, eating an
apple can help to maintain good health because of its high fiber content,
mineral Boron, vitamin c and variety of phytonutrients.
Eating Apples acts like a brushing
action and helps to clean teeth by taking plaque away. Eating an apple
instead of candy or sticky chewy food can help prevent tooth decay.
But, due to its high acidity and high
sugar content it should be eaten during the mealtime but not in between
meals. And remember not to brush immediately after eating an apple as it can
scrub away the enamel.

DENTAL AMALGAM UPDATE: LAKE LANIER SMILES, BUFORD
WSB TV has ran a segment on dental amalgam yesterday, so many
patients would have some questions about their safety and side effects. We at
Lake Lanier Smiles would like to share some information based on extensive
studies and scientific evidence.
We the Dentists at Lake Lanier Smiles consider Amalgam
filling as a safe, durable and affordable material of choice in Dentistry. It
has been in the teeth of over 100 Million American Patients. Basically it is an
amalgam/mixture of metals like Silver, Copper and Tin mixed with Mercury. Once
mixed it forms a stable compound. In
1997 The FDI and WHO concluded that the side effects are rare and the very
minimal amount of mercury released during filling and removal of filling has
not shown any adverse effects on the health.
Major science based organizations including ADA (American
Dental Association), CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) and FDA
(Food and Drug Administration) all agree the Dental Amalgam safety and
effectiveness. Furthermore FDA do not recommend that amalgam fillings are
removed or replaced if they are in good condition.
Other major science Organizations like Alzheimer’s
Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, Autism Society of America and
National Multiple Sclerosis Society have agreed that there is no health risk
associated with Dental Amalgam.
We at Lake Lanier Smiles do not place dental amalgam anymore
not due to the ill effects but due to the cosmetic reasons. We still advice our
patients with sound amalgam fillings not to be replaced at all.

REDUCE DENTISTRY RELATED ANXIETY : LAKE LANIER SMILES BUFORD
We at Lake Lanier Smiles understand that patients experience anxiety going to the dentist, and it is a normal reaction. We
like to explain in this blog on how you can overcome this fear by
educating patients and means to overcome fear of a dental visit.
REASONS FOR DENTISTRY RELATED ANXIETY
Some of the main causes of dental anxiety are fear of pain, needles, drills, gagging, helplessness or not in control, feeling embarrassed about teeth condition and expensive treatment.
HOW CAN LAKE LANIER SMILES HELP?
Doctors
and staff at Lake Lanier Smiles are well trained to help you understand
what you can expect before, after and during the appointment.
The
staff and doctors talk you through the procedure and encourage you to
ask questions. So please feel free to ask any questions.
We offer soothing music through our ceiling speaker system.
Always the patient is in full control in the dental chair and the dentists listen carefully to any of your requests.
ADVISE ON HOW TO RELAX
Please avoid any caffeinated or sugary drinks before the appointment as they are known to increase anxiety.
Always ask questions or express any concerns before you come to the appointment.
When
you are in the reception room, try to distract yourself by watching TV,
listening to music, browsing magazines or talking to our friendly
staff.
Always make an appointment convenient for you so that you don't feel rushed to the appointment.
We encourage talking to the dentist during the treatment so that all the questions can be answered and put you at ease.
During
the treatment, do not hold your breath for long intervals because it
can decrease oxygen levels and which in turn increses anxiety
We advise you to concentrate on breathing. In and out steadily.
