Coffee stains teeth

Did you know that coffee is the most popular drink in the world after water? Every day, millions of people around the world consume coffee.

Because of its popularity, many coffee lovers are shocked to learn that coffee stains teeth. Unfortunately, it’s true. Coffee contains ingredients called tannins that can stain your teeth and noticeably dull your smile.

How Does Coffee Affect Oral Health?

In addition to staining your teeth and dulling your smile, coffee also has an impact on your oral health. Coffee is acidic, much like carbonated drinks and vinegar. This acidity can have adverse effects on your tooth enamel.

CPR for Children

Check to see if the child is conscious.
Check breathing.
Begin chest compressions.
Do rescue breathing.
Repeat compressions and rescue breathing if the child is still not breathing.
Use an AED as soon as one is available.

Black teeth

Black teeth can be a sign of an underlying decay or cavities that should be addressed as soon as possible. However, black teeth may also be the result of staining. Different foods and drinks can leave behind a bit of pigment, causing the teeth to turn black.

Teeth whitening

I will advise to whitening your teeth during spring summer since:

Your dentin is covered in nerve fibers that are sensitive to cold, and that’s why you may experience more discomfort and pain during the winter months. When your teeth are in excellent condition, your teeth are less likely to crack, so make sure you come in for routine checkups to prevent tooth decay or enamel erosion.

Trigeminal neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition characterized by pain coming from the trigeminal nerve, which starts near the top of the ear and splits in three, toward the eye, cheek and jaw. We have two trigeminal nerves for each side of our face, but trigeminal neuralgia pain most commonly affects only one side.

Ingredients that can ruin your teeth

Sugar isn’t the only ingredient that can ruin your teeth. Fruit juice acids cause almost as much damage. Citrus juices such as orange, grapefruit, and lemonade made from scratch can wear down tooth enamel. Studies show that frequent consumption of orange juice reduces the hardness of tooth enamel by nearly 84%.
