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

✅Tea has 2 times the amount of tannins than coffee

✅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.

⚠️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

👵🏻The old wives tale that says a “pregnant women loses a tooth for every pregnancy” should not be accepted as the norm. This saying comes from the fact that with poor oral health and a poor diet, pregnant mother’s teeth are negatively impacted.
