Resist the stoned Fruit and Olives and Save a Tooth

Just a general thing, as the summer arrives we still don’t know when we will be open and able to treat patients.

Each year around this time as I run a dental practice, I make many appointments for my husband’s patients who have chipped, broken or cracked a tooth on:

Olive stones,

peach plum nectarine stones

cherry stones

granola and seeded bread.

If you have a tooth that is slightly dodgy avoid the above or cut the fruit up instead.

Take care.

Good advice. It was a caramel that got me and due to my age it was a werthers. Joking apart, seeded bread is a culprit for me.

An olive stone did for one of my teeth. Interestingly the filling stayed in place so no pain, just very little enamel. Good job really as we were in Jordan at the time.

Great advice in the circumstances. I got a tooth cracked by a cherry stone a couple of years back and it caused problems until the dentist managed to sort it.

My dentist told me nobody over 50 should eat nuts or crusty French bread!

I’ve chipped a tooth on pork crackling, cracked a couple on seeded bread, lost a filling to a crusty roll, and another to a liquorice all sort and ended up with a crown on a post..now also gone...at almost 70 I suppose I’m lucky I’ve still got some of my own teeth left...lol
