About Dental

The problems that arose with the many fizzy drinks, energy drinks and other seemingly dangerous teeth damaging drinks that are out on the market have all been found and known to be a leading cause of teeth erosion. But do you know that orange juice and juices from other acidic fruits can be as dangerous to teeth as our sweeter choice drinks. These juices contain high levels of enamel etching acids such as citric and others that slowly eats away the enamel of teeth weakening it enough to crumble long before they can be checked and any visible decay is shown. Decay comes in two forms, those that affects the crown and the nasty side or crevice decay that eats teeth from the sides, the hardest to spot, even by dentists. These side decaying teeth result in crumbling teeth as they are examined or being prepped for cleaning for a root canal. There is also danger form acids that will find their way into crevices in between fillings and the enamel of teeth, hastening the demise of teeth before they even get to the dentist for a fix.
