Fluoride: Good or Bad?

May 13, 2016

FluorideAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the fluoridation of drinking water is ranked among the ten greatest public health achievements of 20th century America.

Soft Food Recipes – What to Eat After Dental Work

April 27, 2016

Soft Food RecipesYou did it! You got the consultation, booked the appointment, and you actually showed up on the big day. You saw the dentist and now all of that effort has left you hungry! The question is: what can you eat after having dental work done?

For some of us, it’s nostalgic to remember having a frozen treat after the dentist as kids, or attempting to say such bouncy words as “baby” with a numb jaw. However—depending on how extensive your dental work is—you will need to be cautious of what you consume in the days following major dental work. And milkshakes will only get you so far in recovery, anyway.

Many foods can be troublesome after dental surgery or extensive dental work. Ask Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams for their recommendation about specific foods and for how long you should avoid them. Carolina Complete Dental in Goose Creek can be an especially helpful resource for patients navigating what to eat after dental restoration services. (more…)
