Dr. William P. Caldon, D.M.D., co-owner of Plattsburgh’s High Peaks Dental, explains why high levels of exercise, while good for the muscles, can have a negative impact on teeth.

Plattsburgh, NY — Nov. 23, 2015 — Renowned Plattsburgh dentist Dr. William Caldon published a new blog post entitled “Can Too Much Exercise Put Your Teeth at Risk?” In the post, he says that long-lasting or high-intensity bouts of exercise can change the conditions of the mouth, causing imbalances in pH and saliva production that could potentially harm tooth enamel.

Says Caldon, “We all want to do what’s best for our health. We brush and floss regularly. We get out to the gym as often as we can. But could too much exercise be endangering your dental health? If you’re an avid runner or endurance athlete, the answer may be yes. But don’t quit the gym just yet. With a few best practices we can get you back on track.”

Dr. Caldon has been a co-owner of High Peaks Dental since 1996 after serving in the United States Air Force for 20 years and retiring as a Colonel. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville and his Bachelor’s from Thomas More College. In 2013, USA Today featured Caldon as one of America’s Premier Dentists.
