Specializes in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Fruit alternatives: Most folks forget their great and tasty vegetables, nuts, and grains. Celery, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, radishes, for example. Oats, barley, rice, quinoa, and a whole host of others. And soynuts, peanuts, pistachios, almonds, etc.
