It's your dental tip of the day brought to you by Dr. Edwin S Porter and his staff.Don’t eat ice cubes! It is the nearing the end of the season for this refreshing pastime, but it can result in fractured teeth! Many older fillings are made of silver, which doesn’t bond to teeth like the tooth colored fillings we complete and can cause tiny cracks because of the stress of chewing hard items like ice cubes, candy or unpopped popcorn kernels. The older we get, the more brittle our teeth become! Crunching down on ice can also mean that you have an iron deficiency! So stock up on an iron supplement and chew on those!
Save the ice cubes for your drink cup and and save your teeth, pain, and money!! 704-544-5330 or DentistryinCharlotte.com
