Brite Smiles is Recommending a New Breed of Apple

APPLE VALLEY, MN – Brite Smiles Dental Care (https://www.britesmilesdentalcare.com), in Apple Valley, is recommending and sharing information about the new First Kiss® apple.

With fall just around the corner and healthy teeth and gums at the forefront of the staff at Brite Smiles Dental Care, they are recommending University of Minnesota’s (UMN) new apple called First Kiss®, which will be ready to harvest in mid-to-late August.

First Kiss dates back to the late 1990s when UMN’s apple breeders, David Bedford and Jim Luby, set out to breed an apple with the taste and texture of a Honeycrisp, but would be ready to harvest by Labor Day weekend. To accomplish this they crossed Honeycrisp with an early ripening variety from the University of Arkansas known as “AA44.” After years of rigorous trials at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s Horticultural Research Center, First Kiss emerged.

“With First Kiss, we got the best of both worlds,” explained David Bedford. “Its crisp texture and spritely flavor make it an excellent choice for fresh eating. Its early harvest date means Minnesota apple lovers can enjoy their favorite Minnesota grown fruit sooner than ever.”

“We’re excited for Minnesotans to taste First Kiss this fall,” said Jim Luby. “Through two decades of evaluating hundreds of crosses and thousands of trees, First Kiss distinguished itself throughout our research and trials as a superior, early fall apple.”

Brite Smiles is Informing the Public on Remedies for Missing Teeth

APPLE VALLEY, MN – Brite Smiles Dental Care (https://www.britesmilesdentalcare.com), in Apple Valley, MN, is informing the public on the remedies for missing teeth.

More than 36 million Americans do not have any teeth and 120 million people in the United States are missing at least one tooth.

There are many remedies for this and Brite Smiles Dental Care can help you figure out what works best for you. Remedies include:

Implants: metal posts that are positioned into the jawbone beneath the gums. Once in place, they allow the dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.

Dentures: removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures – complete and partial. Complete dentures are for when all the teeth are missing, while partial is for when there are a few natural teeth remaining.

Dr. Dennis Simmons, founder of Brite Smiles Dental Care, stated “We have all the tools needed to fix any problems of missing teeth. We don’t have to refer you to some specialist, we do them all. You save money and time!”
