11.01.2022 Many Australians observe "Dry July", the intentional abstinence from alcoholic beverages lasting an entire month. Minimising alcohol consumption, or avoiding it altogether, is a good strategy for long-term good health. It's also an excellent way of maintaining good dental health. Alcohol negatively affects dental health in a number of ways.... For instance, alcohol causes dehydration. A dehydrated mouth can’t produce the quantity of saliva necessary to adequately protect your teeth and gums. Frequent bouts of dehydration can have a devastating effect on dental health. The solution? If you are consuming alcohol, drink lots of water at the same time Even after a big night out, brush and floss your teeth before sleeping, so that there are less bacteria for your dehydrated mouth to deal with You can learn more about the effects of alcohol on dental health here: https://www.ada.org.au/Your-Dental-He//Lifestyle-Risks-(1) And if you are concerned about the effects of long-term dehydration on your dental health, please speak to your dentist.

07.01.2022 Are teeth white? Natural teeth come in many different shades, ranging from very light to surprisingly dark. The colour comes from the dentine, a yellowish substance that forms the bulk of the tooth and that is covered by enamel. Enamel itself is translucent, allowing light to enter and refract, which in turn allows the colour of the underlying dentine to show to a greater or lesser extent.... An individual tooth can have many different shades and characterisations. Every healthy tooth is uniquely beautiful. Teeth are certainly never porcelain white. If you have questions about tooth colour, please contact us.
