<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Since Christmas just ended, sugary candies are
sure to abound in your kids’ stockings and piles of gifts. Now, normally, we
make it a point to stress the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene to
prevent damage to teeth (or dental gear) while enjoying extra treats. However,
did you know sugary drinks are a commonly overlooked culprit of tooth decay?
Pretty shocking, we know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">So, we’ve come up with a list of those drinks
that are pretty common yet most don’t know have tons of sugar. Whether your
children are trying to stay hydrated playing sports or want to enjoy juice at
home, you should definitely keep an eye on the labels if you want to keep their
teeth healthy.<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white; color: #393a40;">Hot chocolate.</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="background: white; color: #393a40;">Hot chocolate is a holiday and wintertime staple for
drinks. But before you let your kids go crazy with hot cocoa, you should know
that a regular 8 ounce cup has <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">24 grams
of sugar</i>. And let’s be honest, your kids are going to drink at least 2 cups
in a sitting, so that’s 48 grams of sugar. For comparison, a regular size
Hershey’s bar has around 17 grams.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="background: white; color: #393a40;">Gatorade is another common go-to drink for kids who are
active in sports. Unfortunately, they may not be the best choice for
post-exercise rehydration either. While it can vary between flavors, a typical
20 ounce bottle of Gatorade averages <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">34
grams of sugar</i>. Yikes.</span></div>

juice.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="background: white; color: #2e2e30;">Tooth decay can often be a result of parents giving
toddlers various “healthy” fruit juices at home. Did you know that grape juice
contains more sugar than almost any other type of juice? A 12 ounce glass of
grape juice contains more than <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">58 grams
of sugar</i>. That’s 20 grams more than a bottle of Coke, a common
holiday-marketed drink.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Ahh. One summertime favorite, Lemonade, is
absolutely loaded in sugar. A regular 20 ounce bottle has about 67 grams of
sugar. Surprising, isn’t it? While you definitely will still want to let your
kids enjoy this tart drink, just be aware that it’s loaded in sugar.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">We want people (young and old) to be able to
enjoy some sugary treats not only during Christmas but also year round. Just <span style="background: white; mso-highlight: white;">make sure to brush your teeth
after meals, after eating all those yummy winter treats, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and </i>after drinking sugary drinks to keep teeth and dental gear in

For those who are looking to whiten their teeth, there is
something called <a href="http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/activated-charcoal-uses-risks#1" target="_blank">activated charcoal</a>. While some Kennewick Washington dentist
might encourage this, it’s best to learn about what exactly it is before you
engage in this process. This article will go over exactly what activated
charcoal can do for you.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now, activated charcoal is actually very similar in nature
to barbecue charcoal. You’ve probably seen those types of pellets in your
grill, but this is used in medical applications. It’s essentially made by heating charcoal
with a gas that creates pores in the charcoal itself in order to trap the
chemicals in it. it’s also used to help
treat any gas in intestines, cholestasis in pregnancy, and even to lower your
cholesterol levels. It doesn’t have a
smell, doesn’t have a taste, and you can get it in tablet form from the health
food store.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now how this works is that it will bind to the rough parts
of your teeth, which usually have surface stains and plaque, which makes it
easier to remove the substance. Once the
charcoal has time to stick to your teeth, it’ll be removed, and when you do
remove it, the stains are taken along with it as a result. Essentially, it gets rid of the stains in one
move, but because it does latch onto your teeth, it doesn’t change the color or
teeth that are very deeply stained or have a natural yellowing. Because of
this, it’s important to note that if you are using this, if you do need
professional bleaching, you do so too.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now, this charcoal is safe to ingest, but it’s important to
note that it can damage you tooth enamel if it’s scrubbed. You should only lightly touch the teeth when
you put the charcoal on so that you’re not scaping or chipping your teeth. If you have any wounds, cuts, and abrasions
in your mouth, you shouldn’t put this on.
As always, you should make sure that you do talk to your dentist about
it. Not just because of health reasons, but also because it might not be what
you need. You might actually need professional bleaching for this.<o:p></o:p></div>

If you do want to use this though, and you’ve talked to your
dentist, the process is actually pretty simple. The first thing you should do
is get the mineral from the health food store and pharmacy. Often, they are in tablet form, so you should
grind these tablets. Remember, it’s used to treat a ton of other conditions, so
make sure to grind about a teaspoon or two in the container. Once it is a dust,
you should add enough water to create a paste.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you have the paste ready, you should put it on your
teeth. While you don’t have to clean them, you should make sure that you do
just barely tap and dab it onto the teeth rather than rubbing them. remember, this can still damage your teeth if
you do that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In essence, time is actually pretty short in terms of
leaving this on. You should make sure that you do have this in your mouth for
about three minutes so that you have the charcoal bind to the surface stains on
your teeth. You can leave it in for a couple minutes longer if your mouth is
very salivated, and it’s best to try and have your teeth open so that it can
stick and bind. Once you are done with
that, you should then rinse it out with some water and oral wash a few times,
and then proceed to brush your teeth in order to get any final remnants.<o:p></o:p></div>

This is a great and interesting sort of means to help whiten
your teeth. You should definitely consult the <a href="http://jaydexterphoto.com/2017/02/20/best-foods-help-oral-health/" target="_blank">Kennewick Washington dentist</a> that
you have, and find out if this is the right treatment for you. Remember none of
this could truly replace professional bleaching, but if you want to bring a
hint of brightness to your teeth for a moment or so, you can do so by using
this. It’s a simple means to really help
make your mouth shine, and definitely worth it. <o:p></o:p></div>
