Please note that my dentist is diick! (read my last question)
But aren't fruit ment to be good for you?

I agree with you about your dentist, after that last one. I would ignore him to a certain degree.
I would suggest you have some off that sugar free gum that freshens your breath and cleans your teeth.
Apples are a natural tooth cleaner.
Proper brushing and flossing is my recommendation.

You can hardly eat ANYTHING. I'm just exaggerating. But There are a lot of limits. You'll find a lot of especially chewy foods are limited. This is for good reason. Excess chewing prevents the teeth from moving, so certain foods are off-limits for obvious reasons. The most important thing to getting them off as soon as possible is FLOSSING. I swear. It may seem like they're lying, but when they say taking care of your teeth will help get them off faster, they mean it. Ha ha, cheeseburgers are alright.

Hi Wabby, I am with you. I always thought fruit was good for you specially fresh fruit. I would see a different dentist for a second opinion. Good Luck!!!

Dear Sarah,
Generally speaking, fruits contain large amounts, of simple carbohydrates, and therefore, like all deserts, should be eaten in moderation. Simple carbohydrates, tend to have a dynamic effect one ones' endocrine system. They stimulate the secretion of insulin, often in excess, consequently resulting in cortisol secretion.
The most offending fruits are citrus fruits, the least offending are melons and berries. It is best to eat fruit after a meal, like you would a piece of cake.

I'd think a fluoride rinse every day would help with that, as well as the usual brushing 3 times a day etc. Sounds like your dentist doesn't know his stuff.

Ask about getting a sealant on your teeth. It's supposed to keep out the bacteria that causes cavities. Also, fruit can be good for you, but they can also be very acidic, and it's possible that the acids are attacking your teeth.

If you have an undiagnosed polysaccharide intolerance, or intestinal candidiasis, these could be contributing to your dental problems. He may be onto something, but being a dentist, he cannot legally advise or inform you of other health problems.

After your last tale about your dentist Wabby it is time to get a new one, and the time is now.

That would suck. I couldnt do it. Go ahead and fit me for dentures. And BTW, good idea about getting a second opinion.
