Apple Season Is Great for Teeth!

Happy Fall and Happy Apple Season!  Family Dentistry with Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, Hart, & Fickas are excited to share the benefits of eating apples.  Fall season is the best time for fresh crisp apples.  Family Dentistry focuses on healthy teeth so “Did You Know” that apples can be a natural toothbrush.     Apples can  increase saliva which helps to keep the teeth and mouth moist which will prevent cavities.   Chewing on the apples will refresh the teeth’s surface with enough acid that helps to keep the saliva in the mouth and prevents dry mouth which can cause further breakdown of the teeth.  Apples will also prevent bad breath!    So Family Dentistry recommends to Enjoy Fall, Enjoy those wonderful apples, and protect your teeth all at the same time.
