Soda and your teeth

Do you like drinking Soda? Here are some tips to help you prevent damage to your teeth if you cant stop your soda addiction. 

• Try different drinks: try beverages containing less sugar such as water, milk and 100 percent fruit juice.
• Rinse with water: After drinking soda , rinse your mouth with water to remove vestiges of the drink that can prolong exposure of tooth enamel to acids.
• Use fluoride toothpaste and mouth rinse: Fluoride reduces cavities and strengthens tooth enamel, so brush with a fluoride-containing toothpaste such as Colgate® Total®. Rinsing with a fluoride mouthwash also can help. 
• Get professionally applied fluoride treatment: Your dental hygienist can apply fluoride in the form of a foam, gel or rinse.

Soft drinks are hard on your teeth. By reducing the amount you drink, practicing good oral hygiene, and seeking help from your dentist and hygienist, you can counteract their effect and enjoy better oral health.

Patient had anterior and posterior cross bite. Only way to correct this is, on a 30+yr old patient, is through jaw surgery. Patient did not want jaw surgery, therefore we did a combination of crowns and veneers to correct the posterior cross bite and to give the illusion of an anterior end to end bite. We chose Lava as material of choice due to durability and aesthetics.
