Summer Salads For Your Dental Health

July 21, 2017

It’s hot in Texas right now! Temperatures are reaching into the 100s and air conditioners are working overtime to keep us all cool! During this time of year it’s challenging to find ways to stay cool and light. Wearing loose and light-colored clothes are a good idea for keeping your body feeling cool. How about your diet? Are there foods that you crave more when it’s this hot out? Fresh and cold salads are a refreshing option for feeling light and fresh.

At Parklane Family Dentistry, Dr. Parul Vashisht would like to remind you that what you put in your body could affect your dental health. Summer salads are a good way to fuel your body and also boost your dental health.

Here is a list of top dental-boosting ingredients to add to your summer salad.

  1. Start your salad with a big pile of spinach. Spinach is high in calcium, which is good for your teeth’s enamel.
  2. Throw some almonds on top of your salad. The fiber, folic acid, calcium and other vitamins are beneficial to teeth and gums.
  3. Strawberries add pretty color to your salad, and they also are a good whitener for your enamel. The malic acids in strawberries act as a natural whitener.
  4. Choose cheese for your salad. Cheese has high levels of phosphate and calcium in it. It strengthens your teeth and bones and helps balance the pH levels in your mouth.

Book your regular checkup and cleaning at Parklane Family Dentistry with Dr. Parul Vashisht today, and enjoy your summer salads packed with goodness for your dental health!

3 Unexpected Benefits Of Wearing Invisalign

Have you heard of Invisalign yet? If not, you can read all about it on their website here. At Parklane Family Dentistry, Dr. Parul Vashisht offers this revolutionary option for you if you are looking to achieve a confident smile with your newly aligned teeth.

Besides making your smile brilliant with your straight teeth, there are other unexpected benefits to wearing Invisalign.

  1. Invisalign matches with everything. It clashes with nothing in your closet or jewelry box. The clear aligner trays will not mess up the flow and coordination of your outfit. It’s like that little black dress or those khaki pants that match with everything in your closet.
  2. You’ll never get an awkward compliment. Never will you ever hear someone announce that they really like your Invisalign. Why is this? Your Invisalign is unnoticeable! No one will even know you’re in the process of achieving an awesome smile!
  3. Eat whatever you want. With traditional metal braces, there is a large list of “no-no” foods and treats that you must avoid in order to maintain the integrity of the braces. With Invisalign, you simply remove the clear aligner trays, enjoy your food or drink, and replace them when you’re finished. It’s that easy.

Call and book your appointment with Dr. Parul Vashisht at Parklane Family Dentistry in Little Elm, Texas today. We are a quality high-tech practice that offers excellence in dentistry to every member of your family. Come and see the difference we can make for your smile!
