 Sugar drinks such as juices and sodas have been getting a lot of attention lately. They are even considering warning label similar to cigarettes on their packaging.
If you're like me and enjoy the occasional pop with lunch or during the work day, here are some tips to limit the damage to your teeth. For starters try the sugar free versions, they are less likely to cause cavities (although they still damage enamel), drink your pop during a meal, drink through a straw (to minimize contact with teeth), and follow a pop with a good drink of water to rinse the mouth clean, brush your teeth if possible after your done.
Most importantly limit your pop consumption. Remember that once it passes through your teeth, the rest of your body has to deal with it and that's a whole other story. |

Has your smile dulled over the years?
Have years of drinking coffee, tea or soft drinks left your teeth stained and discoloured?
Fortunately, dentistry has a solution for your yellowing teeth. As recently seen on Oprah with Dr. Oz, tooth whitening has become a popular exercise with the rise of personal appearance television shows and over the counter solutions.
The following are some common questions regarding whitening:
1. WHAT ARE SOME CAUSES OF TOOTH DISCOLORATION?
- drinking coffee, tea, wine or soft drinks stains teeth
- natural aging - the dentin underneath the enamel of a tooth darkens
- Smoking or any tobacco use stains teeth
- Accidents - a dead nerve will darken a tooth
- Root Canal Therapy

2. ARE RESULTS GUARANTEED? and DOES IT WORK ON EVERYONE?
It is not possible to guarantee results, due to differences in oral hygiene care and habits such as smoking and drinking dark colored liquids. There are a small percentage of patients whose teeth will not respond to bleaching.
3. HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
