    Keep Smiling In New Albany By Avoiding These Things

    October 17, 2016

    At New Albany Implants, we make it our mission to deliver comprehensive dentistry solutions under one convenient roof. Because our leader, Dr. Ronald Receveur, is a trusted dentist, dental implant surgeon, and smile makeover expert, we can handle just about anything in our Southern Indiana office.

    But what we want most is for you to have the best possible smile all through life. That’s why, today, we want to talk about how you can save your smile simply by avoiding certain things.

    Don’t get too excited, the dentist isn’t on the list! But if you need help relaxing when you come to see us every 3-6 months, you’ll be pleased to know that Dr. Ron is one of the few dentists in the region that is certified to administer a full-range of sedation dentistry methods.

    So, read through our list of things to watch out for, and then be sure to schedule your next preventive appointment ASAP!

    Ice Cubes

    This is something we all are tempted to do at one time or another. But, no matter what the circumstance may be, you should never munch on ice! Ice is so hard that chewing it can badly damage your teeth. Besides the chance of breaking a tooth, chewing ice also wears down the enamel of your teeth. This could lead to hot/cold sensitivity and even cavities. It can also create problems for your gums. Don’t do it!

    Soda Pop

    Odds are you are going to have one every now and again, but you should not make this a daily habit. With as much sugar as a bottle of regular soda contains, it is not the best choice for your teeth. Many sodas also contain caramel and fructose, which is basically sugar that coats and sticks to your teeth.

    Don’t be fooled by diet either. Even though diet soda doesn’t have “sugar,” all soda is high in acidity. That acid can erode your enamel, making cavities much more likely to appear.

    Popcorn

    The movie theater variety is never going to be “healthy” with all that butter and salt, but the more natural popcorns are basically a healthy food option. That said, you still need to be careful when consuming it.

    Popcorn can get stuck between your teeth, which is where harmful bacteria is lurking. That oral bacteria can eat the tiny parts of popcorn stuck there, increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. But more than that, there’s also always a possibility that you will bite into an unpopped kernel which is hard enough to damage or break your teeth.

    Coffee Drinks

    There’s no doubt that a cup of Heine Brothers’ coffee can really get you going in the morning, but it slowly stains your teeth over time, turning your once pearly whites into a nasty brown-yellow color. Worse than that, most coffee drinks have so much sugar in them, they’re as bad for your teeth as a bottle of Ale-8!

    Alcohol

    It may be fun to hit a happy hour at NABC with your co-workers, but there is a price to pay, and we aren’t talking about hangovers! The primary problem we have with alcoholic drinks is that they dry out your mouth.

    While drinking, your mouth won’t produce enough saliva, which you need to help wash away particles of food or drink from your teeth and gums.

    Also, some alcoholic drinks have a lot of sugar making them very bad for your teeth. And, if red wine from Huber’s is your drink of choice, you will also be staining your teeth.

    Sports Drinks

    If you aren’t working out, stay away from sports drinks. Gatorade, along with other sports drinks, are really designed to be consumed only after you’ve been sweating a lot. This is why they contain carbohydrates, which is really just another form of sugar. Gatorade might not taste as sweet as soda pop, but it can still do the same damage to your teeth. Water is always the safest choice for your smile!

    You Make The Call!

    If you are ready to boost the health and appearance of your smile, you can call us anytime at 888-469-3982 to schedule a free consultation with Dr. Ron at our New Albany, IN dentist’s office. You can also contact us online with any questions!

    I HAD TOP DENTAL IMPLANT. THE SURGICAL EXPERIENCE AND PLACEMENT WAS FANTASTIC. DR RECEVEUR AND HIS STAFF ARE VERY CARING. MY ONE COMPLAINT IS THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COME IN FOR AN ANNUAL "EXAM" AND XRAYS TO MAINTAIN THE WARRANTY BUT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE. THEY DO NOT GIVE ANY DISCOUNTS THAT INSURANCE WOULD NORMALLY GIVE AS THEY ARE OUT OF NETWORK, SO END UP PAYING MUCH HIGHER RATES. OTHER THAN THIS ONE AREA OF CONFUSION I WOULD RATE THEIR OFFICE AS EXCEPTIONAL.

    Love going here! Staff is extra friendly and kind. Of course it is difficult to talk with your mouth being worked on, but the dental technician you see remembers the things you all talk about at the 6 month appointments, and is always so friendly as well. They also give you really practical and simple ways to improve your dental hygiene, and i have started brushing everyday now because of their guidance. Could not recommend them more!
