Drinking alcohol and oral health

Drinking too much alcohol has been linked to an array of oral health problems including oral cancer, tooth decay and tooth erosion. It also increases the chances of accidental trauma or facial injury because of the higher risk of falling or being involved in an accident when people are intoxicated.

Lipstick

Lipsticks formulated with a blue base will help diminish any orange or yellow tones on your teeth. Darker pinks are the easiest shades to wear with little risk of making teeth look yellow. That’s because the tones in darker shades of pink are blue, vital for making teeth look whiter.

Coffee stains on teeth

White coffee will not stain your teeth as much as black coffee. The same applies for tea! Don’t brush your teeth immediately after drinking tea or coffee.

However, the ingredients you have in your coffee can also impact teeth discolouration. Some evidence suggests that high fat milks (rather than soy milk or skim milk) can help minimise caffeine from attaching to and staining teeth, since fatty milk is high in protein, which counteracts the staining.

Periodontal treatment

Good afternoon. Ready for some periodontal treatment. Remember you can’t not reverse periodontitis only gingivitis. Best way to keep under control is visiting your dentist every 3 months. Brushing your teeth 2 to 3 times per day, using dental floss interdental brushes, the right mouthwash and check for systemic diseases .

Novocaine

Local anesthesia, also commonly known as novocaine, is used during most dental procedures. This medication is administered as an injection designed to temporarily prevent the teeth nerve fibers from transmitting impulses, thereby numbing the area. There are different types of dental anaesthetics like lidocaine, mepivacain, prilocain & bupivacaine….. Each one is different according to patients needs.
