Eating an apple a day could be benficial for oral health.

Eating an apple a day could help keep a trip to the emergency dentist at bay, it has been claimed.

The Nassau Guardian reported Dr Chinyere Carey-Bullard of the Advanced Family Medical Center in the Bahamas has said apples are a kind of “super fruit”, as they provide nutrients and fibre that other fruits simply do not give.

“It is a natural food without salt, preservatives and other manmade additives, while being packed with the daily nutrition one would need to maintain good everyday health,” Dr Carey-Bullard commented.

Elsewhere, the Yorkshire Post recently reported a 53-year-old mother from Doncaster was able to eat her first solid meal in over 50 years after receiving cosmetic dentistry treatment from a local surgery.

Teresa Robinson lost all the teeth from her top jaw following years of dental health problems, but dental implants from Fountain Dental, Cosmetic and Implant Clinic in Bessacarr, Doncaster, has helped her eat a solid meal for the first time in more than five decades.
