24.01.2005 The Danger of Soft Drinks
Yes most of us will agree that soft drinks taste good. However what many people may not realise is the dangerous toll it takes on your teeth. Sugar found in soft drinks react with the natural bacteria in your mouth and forms acid. This acid erodes your tooth enamel over time which causes dental cavities.
What is even more alarming is the fact that soft drinks (even the "sugar-free" kind) contact additional acids that also erode your teeth's enamel.
We recommend drinking soft drinks in moderation, using a straw when you do drink them or better still - DRINK WATER! |
28.10.2004 Should I use an electric toothbrush?
Many dentists believe electric toothbrushes are more effective in removing plaque from those hard-to-reach places that ordinary manual toothbrushes would miss.
Before you buy, properly evaluate ease of use, battery life and cost of replacement brushes.
Always remember though that while electric toothbrushes are indeed effective, you still need to include daily flossing as part of your dental care routine. |
