Dr Chris’ healthy eating tips for healthy teeth :)

Leave a comment

Limit the number of snacks you eat. If you do snack, choose something that is healthy like fruit, nuts, vegetables or a piece of cheese.

Sweet foods that are eaten as part of a meal cause less harm to teeth than eating lots of snacks throughout the day, because more saliva is released during a meal. Saliva helps wash foods from the mouth and lessens the effects of acids, which can harm teeth and cause cavities.

Toothkind- Healthy Eating

Sweet things eaten just before bed are especially harmful to our teeth because when we fall asleep our saliva flow gets very low so there is nothing to wash the sugar off our teeth!

Diet soft drinks and sports drinks can be just as harmful to our teeth as regular soft drinks so should only be consumed as an occasional treat!

Healthy eating is just part of keeping your teeth healthy. Contact us today to schedule a consultation at one of our practices in Deagon, Beerwah, Jimboomba and Little Mountain.

ClearCorrect Teeth Straightening Without Braces

Leave a comment

ClearCorrect is a clear aligner system used to straighten teeth without braces. Similar to other clear aligner brands (like Invisalign) available to dentists or orthodontists certified to offer them to their patients, ClearCorrect straightens teeth using a series of clear, custom-made, removable aligners that gradually move teeth a little bit at a time, eventually correcting the teeth and smile to elicit a new, revitalized look.

Why clear aligners?

To correct malocclusion, a growing number of patients and doctors prefer clear aligners to traditional wires and brackets, due to advantages such as:

  • Nearly-invisible appliances
  • No dietary restrictions
  • No obstructions to flossing or brushing
  • Controlled single-tooth movement

If you want straighter teeth but don’t want braces then ClearCorrect clear aligners could be the choice for you! If you’d like to learn more about ClearCorrect please schedule a consultation and we’ll happily discuss your needs further.
