Dental tip for parents😃

✅Staining is caused by a substance called Tannins

✅Tannins are naturally occurring plant compounds found in tea and coffee

✅Tea has 2 times the amount of tannins than coffee

✅The higher the Tannins concentration the more staining occurs

✅Other factors that affect staining are chromogen levels and acidity

✅Reality check : Whitening tooth is a scam that’s become so normalized that we don’t even realize its a scam anymore!

❌ NO it doesn’t whiten whiten your teeth, it contains more abrasives which cause enamel erosion and makes your teeth MORE YELLOW.

✅ whitening toothpastes remove external staining which are typically not the cause of your teeth looking yellow.

✅ yellow teeth are caused by internal staining you can only whiten by using hydrogen peroxide that should stay on your teeth for long periods of time, longer than the time you spend brushing.

The Truth behind juice boxes 🧃

💧Water is always the best drink you can have and give your kids.

✅Healthy teeth needs healthy habits.

⚠️ACID ACI ACID⚠️

- While many of us think that sugar harms teeth the most, but its actually ACID that is the most damaging.

- Citric acid and carbonated water can damage the enamel and cause erosions.

-Sipping on drinks with a low ph (acidic) all day increases your risk of cavities.

- you don’t have to cut down your favorite drinks what you should do is limit consumption and frequency.

How to prevent?

1- chew Xylitol gum after drinking
2-rinse with water
3- use an alkaline rinse

-بينما يعتقد الكثير منا أن السكر يضر بالأسنان اكثر من غيره ، إلا أن الحمض في الواقع هو الأكثر ضررًا.

- يمكن أن يؤدي حمض الستريك والمياه الغازية إلى إتلاف المينا والتسبب في تآكلها.

- تناول المشروبات ذات درجة الحموضة المنخفضة (الحمضية) طوال اليوم يزيد من خطر الإصابة بالتسوس.

-لست مضطراً لتقليل المشروبات المفضلة لديك، فما عليك فعله هو الحد من الإستهلاك و التكرار .

كيف تمنع؟
-امضغ علكة إكسيليتول بعد الشرب
-اغسل الفم بالماء
- استخدم غسول قلوي

✅ Pre-brush oral rinses for children tint the teeth typically a blue color so your child can pay special attention to areas that need to be brushed thoroughly.

✅Gentle enough for daily use, pre-brush oral rinses are recommended for use immediately before brushing in the morning and evening.

✅ Pre-brush oral rinses are not formulated to prevent or reduce plaque or gum disease. Their purpose is to make teeth brushing an enjoyable activity for children, helping them clean their teeth better and for the right amount of time.

-Teething biscuits are different to regular biscuits, but they can still contain high amounts of sugar and refined flour which possibly promotes tooth decay. You might want to consider switching to healthier all-natural ingredients, whole grain, and naturally sweetened teething biscuits.

🚨Keep in mind that:
🍌bananas have Low acidity: A mild pH value means that bananas should not contribute to eroding enamel, which is good for teeth.
🍌 Bananas also contain vitamin D and calcium, which can help strengthen teeth.

🍌bananas as any other fruit are high in starch and sugar which can contribute to dental decay BUT maintaining a proper oral hygiene is more than enough to keep the negative aspects at bay, leaving room for all the positive nutritional values that come with bananas.

⏰Remember as with any food, moderation is key. Excessive consumption can certainly outweigh the health benefits, just as poor hygiene.

-The initial interaction of e-cigarette aerosol mixtures occurs largely in the oral cavity and throat,where ni****ne and other compounds are expected to be most active, and the exposure is most intense.

-Ni****ne in e-cigarettes restricts blood vessels and lessens blood flow to the gums, which can make gums recede. Lower blood circulation limits your mouth’s natural ability to fight against bacteria. That can speed up the process for infection, decay and other problems

-e-cigarette users’ gums swell and bleed because of v***r chemicals and flavoring, whether the product has ni****ne or not.

-Some va**ng formulations may be highly cariogenic, especially those with sweet flavors, which are used to attract young people.

-va**ng also increases the risk of dry mouth and bad breath.

-The biggest concern many people have with e-cigarettes is that we don’t yet know the long-term effects. They may be useful as a tool to stop smoking, but shouldn’t be used for long periods or thought of as harmless.
