3 Foods Made for Grilling Get More Out of Your Grill This Summer
Bread There’s nothing like making your own artisan bread at home, and you can do it right in the grill. You can create your own flatbread, rolls, or full loaves with just about any bread recipe. It all comes down to time and temperature control. 500 F tends to be a safe bet. If it’s too hot, you’ll overbake the outside while the inside remains raw. Salsa You can kick up the flavor of any homemade salsa by first grilling each ingredient you want in your salsa, such as tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, or garlic. This includes salsa with fruit, such as mangoes or peaches. Allow each ingredient to get a light char, but be sure to remove the charred skin of the tomatoes after grilling. Leaving it on can result in a burnt flavor rather than a smoky one.
During the summer, the backyard grill becomes the place to be. It’s the best site for sharing grilled meat and memories. But as you grill this summer, why not take a step out of your “meat comfort zone?” Whether you prefer gas or charcoal, just about any backyard grill can be transformed into an all-purpose, high-temperature oven. Get ready to kick some of your favorite foods up a notch! Here are three foods that are great for grilling. Pizza Making your own pizza at home is incredibly easy. You can make your own dough or buy it at the grocery store. Roll it out, add all your favorite toppings, then toss it on the grill. Just make sure your pizza will fit on the grill first! You may need to make smaller personal pizzas if you have a smaller grill. Pro Tip: The hotter you can get your grill, the better. At 500–600 F, it may only take a few minutes to completely cook the pizza, so don’t leave the grill. This is the best time to use a pizza stone (if you have one) to ensure a golden-brown crust, but you can place the pizza directly on the grill. Tooth pain comes in many different forms and intensities. Sometimes it’s little more than a dull ache that goes away after an hour or two. Other times, it’s an intense, seething pain that disrupts your day. It can be difficult to determine if the pain is serious and requires the intervention of your dentist or if it’s a temporary ache that can be alleviated using over-the- counter pain medication. Here’s a quick look at four levels of tooth pain and what you can do to find relief. Brief Sensitivity to Hot or Cold Foods and Beverages For most people, this pain isn’t serious and doesn’t require immediate treatment. The most common causes of sensitivity are gum recession, tooth decay, or a loose filling. You can use tooth-sensitive toothpaste, an extra-soft toothbrush, and careful brushing habits. If sensitivity persists or worsens, treatment may be required. Brief Sensitivity to Hot or Cold Foods and Beverages After Dental Treatment Occasionally, dental work will irritate or inflame pulp inside the tooth, leading to sensitivity. It generally only lasts

a short time, but if the sensitivity remains or worsens after 2–4 weeks, it needs to be addressed. There may be an underlying issue that needs to be taken care of. Sharp Pain When Chewing or Biting Down This type of pain is often the result of tooth decay, a fracture in the tooth, or a loose or missing filling. It may also be the result of injury or trauma to the pulp and connecting nerves. If you ever experience this kind of pain, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We can make sure you get the care you need to alleviate the pain and fix the underlying cause. Severe Pain, Pressure, Sensitivity, and Swelling Around the Gums This type of pain is less common and is often the symptom of an abscessed tooth or a gum infection. If not taken care of, an abscess can turn into an infection in the surrounding tissue and bone. This requires treatment as soon as possible in order to not only alleviate pain and swelling but to save the affected tooth.
