Here's the reply - That's a great question! That depends on how big the original silver filling is. Here's the guildelines - if the filling covers more that half the width of the chewing surface of your tooth, it will need a crown or onlay to keep it strong. If the filling is smaller than half the width, you may be able to replace it with a white filling. We talk with people about each tooth and recommend whatever will last and feel great. Thanks for asking! Thanks. Here’s the reply –

FINALLY! It has been baby steps for the last few weeks. I have made it a lot harder on myself than it really was. Why do I do this? I found myself floating through Good Earth not knowing what I was purchasing. I did this a few times when I bumped into Jilene there, feeling the same way. Having you take us to the store and point out your favorite items and the staples was of tremendous help. I am a pro now. I can buzz in and out of the store with ease and confidence now. The recipes are truly easy and tasty. Dr. Jorgensen has been our fearless leader. She has been bringing in great dishes and meal plans. She is quite amazing! My whole goal was to have raving fans with my kids, begging and pleading for Green Smoothies every morning while bowing to my existence for introducing this into their lives. Ummm ya, about that. Not so lucky, as of yet!!!! My daughter is using children’s health for her platform and believes she will teach children about the health benefits of eating good and working out. She can't seem to get over the green and the thought of drinking her salad. But, we are closer than we have ever been. I believe that I see the hesitation when they say they feel sick or they have no energy, need to study and focus for school, or play an amazing game, or recuperate after a game. I say with an eager tone of voice and Jester the Cat smile, "I can make you a Green Smoothie?" They no longer shoot me down and even hover around me while I make my own. They are weakening. I hope to have better news next time. Thanks for all of your help and enthusiasm, Robyn. I love spreading the knowledge of what I have learned to family and friends and hope they get as excited as I am and I want them to feel as great as I do too. Margot I saw the light. FINALLY!

All six of us were great for 10 days. Then the “newness” of it went away. My 15 yr old daughter that loves and plays music sang her goodbye song to green smoothies (for now). My 12 year old daughter that plays competitive soccer makes it a goal to have 2 green smoothies a week. My 9 year old jumping jolly full of joy jumped off the green smoothie band wagon. He will occasionally juggle green smoothies, cookies, pizza and ice cream. As for my almost 17 year old competitive athlete, he will ask for a green smoothie if there isn’t one made. My husband and I will drink a quart a day. My husband has noticed that he still craves sweets. When he eats the sweets, he can only eat a little (which kinda bums him out). I have noticed that I recover from running more efficiently. We sometimes run a mt called Suncrest that has 1440 feet of elevation in 5 miles (thank you Garmin-I can tell you average speed, heart rate, etc). Then we get to turn around and come down. Yes that is 10 miles total before work. My stomach didn’t enjoy itself for about 3 hours after the run. However since I have been doing green smoothies and drinking the Hot Pink drink, it now only takes me about an hour to recover. I love having green smoothies at work. We are working together to help one another make a life change. We are able to get great produce from Good Earth—Thank you Good Earth. When we can’t make a green smoothie someone will make a quick run to Roxberry for a “green fix”—Thank you Roxberry!! It has been a great learning experience so far. I have been learning some tricks on what makes a nasty green smoothie.(For those of you that don’t know Robyn and I are having a competition on who can make the nastiest tasting green smoothie) So if you want to help the underdog win, email me your ideas jmecham1@hotmail.com.

We have a long list of medical issues from autioimmune disorders to high blood pressure and high cholesterol. We have been riding the junk food diet way too long and it had really caught up to us. Green Smoothies have inspired a new way of thinking! We no longer drink soda and we crave our smoothies! I can feel such a huge difference in my body. My ankles aren't swollen like they used to be at the end of a work day and my body has so much more energy! I can't wait to see how awesome I feel after more time in the healthy environment at Total Care Dental. It's great to walk through this transformation together, cheering each other on! I love it! I know I wouldn't have taken this step on my own. My co-workers are awesome and they encourage me everyday! Thank you for sharing your abundance of wisdom with us Robyn!

People who have missing teeth or need replacements need not worry over it now as such treatments are reliable and make the implanted teeth look very natural.
