• Avoid sticky sweets, such
as taffies, toffees, soft candies and pastries. These types
of foods stick to your teeth and feed decay-causing bacteria.
When you do eat sweets, eat them after a meal. When candies
are eaten alone, they are more likely to remain stuck between
your teeth.
• Do eat crunchy foods that naturally
clean the teeth (apples, carrots, and other raw vegetables)
and foods with ample vitamin C, like citrus fruits and broccoli.
• Looking for an excuse to eat
chocolate? Many dentists agree that raisins can cause more
tooth decay than chocolate. Sticky foods such as raisins
and dried fruits can stay on the teeth longer and develop
more decay.

• Want to cure bad breath? Mouthwash,
sugarless gum and tongue scrapers are some modern remedies
but Thomas Vicery, a surgeon from the early 17th century,
has a more unique suggestion: "Wash the mouth with
water and vinegar. Chew mastic (a tree resin used as an
astringent), then wash the mouth again with a decoction
of annis seeds, mints and cloves soaked in wine."

I wanted to write and congratulate you on the
excellent job you did on my root canal. Most of us are always
apprehensive about root canals, but you certainly put that myth
to rest. Your delicate touch and precise work was the best. I
experienced absolutely no pain at all during the entire procedure.
Thank you for making my visit a pleasant one.
