Our Favorite Things Food!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 2:41 pm

I love food.  I love to prepare, cook, experiment and serve (not so much with the clean up).  I love to provide such a basic need for people.  I think that is why I enjoy dentistry so much, there are so many similarities with cooking.

We are lucky that we have so many outlets and resources for great food in Indianapolis.  I want to take the time every so often to share some of our favorite spots.

www.sunkingbrewing.comGreat craft beers.  The cream ale is my favorite.  3rd and college. How many microbrews come in a pint can?

www.sweetiesgt.com  Great cupcakes, deserts and cakes (and fondue). 62nd st/Broadripple ave. near Broad Ripple high school.  No, I am not making business for ourselves.

www.tastecafeandmarketplace.com  Incredibly fresh and inventive breakfast and lunch.  The best creme d’pot in Indianapolis (also the best fries). 52nd and college

www.goosethemarket.comWonderful beer/wine cave with cheese and meets served.   Great meat case and gelato to keep the kids happy.  25th and Delaware

www.tocookornottocook.com  My daughters website of her favorite things.  Cooking doesn’t have to be scary.

I’ll have more suggestions in the future.  Enjoy and cook for someone.

Fluoride Questions

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:23 pm

The recommended level of fluoride in drinking water has been reduced to 0.7milligrams per liter.  The previous range was 1.2 to 0.7 mg/liter.  There was a concern that high levels of fluoride could cause harmless white spots (fluorosis) to form on the teeth.  The 0.7mg/l dose is still considered effective by the American Dental Association and the U.S. government.

The fluoride that is in water is incorporated (taken up) into the developing teeth.  Your adult teeth form under the gums when you are a child, this is when fluorosis can happen.  People over the age of 8 don’t have to worry about fluorosis, their teeth are already formed.

The fluoride used in a dental office is a topical fluoride, which is applied directly to the teeth.  This is a different form of fluoride than is in the water and does not stain the teeth.  The fluoride used in the office is up to 20 times stronger than that in tooth paste and can actually help to repair some damage.  Adults and children can use the fluoride in the office.
