The Power of a Smile

A sparkling summer smile could just be a couple of sips away.

Smiles are important! Does your smile need a makeover? The reason might be due to what you’re drinking. Because it’s usual to only think of the foods that improve or hurt our oral health, we often forget that the liquids we enjoy can be just as important. consider limiting the amount you consume of the following drinks to avoid the risk of teeth yellowing or decay:

  • Wine: The acidity in both red and white wines can can soften tooth enamel
  • Coffee: It’s highly acidic and can quickly lead to stains. Same with dark tea.
  • Sports Drink: Healthy right? Wrong! they often contain vast amounts of sugar and acids and that promote tooth decay.

Any drink that will stain your carpet may also stain your teeth!

However, there are ways you can help reverse these effects. For example, use sugar-free gum to chew away some of those ugly stains. Brush your teeth regularly. Better yet, stick to water as much as possible. ..your teeth and your body will thank you for it!
