Myth #5: Diet drinks are better for you because they have less sugar.
While sugar is a primary contributor to cavities, diet drinks are also highly acidic. Increased acid levels can be damaging to the teeth by increasing your risk for enamel wear and erosion. Choosing water is a healthier alternative to protect your smile!

Phosphoric acid, citric acid and tartaric acid are some of the ingredients in diet sodas and fruit juices that damage teeth, but you can reduce the effects of acidic drinks by taking these precautions.

Myth #3: The harder you brush the cleaner you’ll get your teeth.

Myth #2: Whitening damages your teeth. Using baking soda & lemon juice is a good alternative.

While it may be popular, baking soda and lemon juice are both abrasive and acidic to the teeth and should not be used as a whitening alternative. Ask your oral health care provide for safe whitening choices that wont harm your teeth long-term.

Mixing baking soda with lemon juice has become a popular home remedy for treating several conditions. Here, we examine the scientific evidence for whether this combination can improve the skin, treat heartburn and indigestion, and whiten teeth.

One of the top contributing factors to grinding is stress. As we all know, stress has been at the forefront of these last couple years, so it's no surprise we've seen more cases of clenching and grinding than ever before! If you're noticing signs and symptoms in yourself, ask your oral health care provider how to prevent permanent damage to the teeth and gums.

Dentists are noting that teeth grinding and jaw clenching, known as bruxism, has been on the rise during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To ensure your appliance lasts as long as possible and stays fresh be sure to clean daily. Avoid toothpaste on your night guard as it is abrasive. Soak weekly with either a retainer solution or a mouth rinse to ward off bacteria.
