We've all heard the expression "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." But perhaps that should be changed to dentist. In addition to being good for your health, apples are also quite good for your teeth. In fact, if you find yourself without a toothbrush, an apple can fill in nicely.
Apples actually act like toothbrushes because of their fiber-rich flesh. This works like a scrub on not only your teeth, but your tongue and gums as well. An apple can also help remove food particles that are hiding out between your teeth and sticking to your gums.
As well as cleaning your teeth, because they are mildly acidic and slightly astringent, apples can also help get rid of plaque and stains. On top of that, apples can freshen breath. Is there nothing this super fruit can't do? The next time you have an after lunch meeting and forgot your toothbrush, head down to the cafeteria and grab an apple instead.

Hello Dr Spiros Just a quick note to tell you again how much appreciated your care and attention to my problem was. I would have to go very far to find a finer and more caring doctor if ever to be found! I will be visiting Dr G in Cape Town on Wednesday to finalise the issue. Most important I am out of pain and all wrinkles have returned to the right side of my face. Once again, many many thanks. Best regards

Hi Dr Kavalieratos Having healthy gums and teeth is something that we all take for granted. It's only when things go wrong that we search for alternatives. I have had the experience of rehabilitating my own mouth over the last few years and it is only the result of excellent Dentists and Surgeons, as well as up to date technology like Dental Implants that I feel like I have got a second chance of enjoying the benefits of a healthy mouth. A dental implant is like having a new tooth in your mouth. It's impossible to tell the difference between an implant and a real tooth. Multiple implants is also a possibility. Nothing seems impossible these days - some personal research is beneficial in order to gain more practical understanding of Dental Implants. It's worth all the preparation, planning, surgery and cost. Just make sure you pick the right dental team. Thanks to Dr AA, Dr SK, Dr MS Kind regards
