Studies have shown that many children have erosion of the dental enamel of at least one tooth. Orange juice although full of vitamins is a major culprit for young tooth erosion of the enamel. Parents can take some steps to cut down on dental enamel erosion in their children. These include: Limit the exposure of children to acid foods and drinks each day. Do not let children sip juice all through the day. Do not let children keep and swish acidic drinks around in their mouths. Have children rinse their mouths with water after eating foods or having acidic drinks. Children should brush their teeth regularly twice dail...

In the meantime, Ren advises that consumers be aware of the acidic nature of bev... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2630248 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:54:27 +0100 2630248 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2561234&cid=t_249832_87_f&fid=34872&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blisstree.com%2Fhealthbolt%2Fcan-wine-tasting-led-to-tooth-erosion%2F Pity the poor wine makers, tasters, and judges. Researchers in Australia are finding that they are at a higher risk of tooth erosion. Of course, tooth erosion can happen to anyone, but those who are constantly tasting wine are much more susceptible due wines acidic nature. Acid dissolves the calcium and phosphate from teeth’s enamel surfaces, a process that is irreversible. Researchers aren’t advocating that professional wine assessors give up their job but they are suggesting that they look at ways of protecting their teeth. Ways they can do this include drinking plenty of water to increase saliva production which helps flush way and dilute the acids. Another, more extreme idea, is for them not to brush their teeth on the mornings of a wine tasting session. Sounds gross, but the i...

Physical changes in the mouth are one of the first signs an eating disorder exists. According to the Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness, up to 89% of bulimics show signs of tooth erosion, and 28% of all bulimic cases are first diagnosed by dental professionals. Dental practitioners should [...] (Source: Bibby Library News and Tips) Bibby Library News and Tips blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2202638 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:29:52 +0100 2202638 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2011006&cid=t_249832_125_f&fid=34820&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dentalblogs.com%2Farchives%2Fadministrator%2Fpatients-can-reduce-risk-for-tooth-enamel-erosion-by-making-wise-diet-choices%2F Enamel erosion is a problem that probably affects many of your patients. Acids found in soft drinks and fruit drinks are extremely harsh on tooth enamel. In fact, some of the citric acids in fruit drinks cause more damage to tooth enamel than sulfuric acid (battery acid) would. Unlike other parts of the body (skin, for instance), tooth enamel does not naturally regenerate. The AGD recently released a study in General Dentistry (July/August 2008) that tells us home-brewed tea with no additives, like sugar, milk, or lemon, is not erosive. Canned teas aren’t included in this finding because of high sugar content and other additives. In addition to being neutral for tooth enamel, brewed tea has antioxidants that reduce risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Just slightly healthier ... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2011006 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:57:45 +0100 2011006
