Ryan J. Edwards and Patrick French) http://toothbeknown.com/?p=181 On today’s show we bust the top 10 dental myths out there (well the top 10 according to us).  First, for all you winos, white wine may not stain your teeth as badly as red, but can still allow your teeth to darken.  But after a few bottles you probably won’t care.

Show Notes

News: White Wine Stains Your Teeth Too

  • This research was conducted by Ms. Cristina M. Dobrescu, while a third-year student at New York University College of Dentistry and Dr. Mark Wolff, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Cariology & Comprehensive Care at New York University College of Dentistry.
  • Video of Dr. Wolff explaining the findings (scroll down the page to the eighth entry where you see Dr. Wolff on WABC)

Common Dental Myths

  • Myth #2: Babies “steal” calcium from their moms’ teeth
  • Myth #3: Dentures are easier
  • Myth #4: Baby teeth aren’t worth saving
  • Myth #5: Nausea and vomiting are signs of an allergy
  • Myth #6: I don’t have to take all my antibiotics
  • Myth #7: Tooth whitening products will give you cancer
  • Myth #8: Tooth whitening damages your teeth

Show Notes

News: Green Tea is Good For Your Gums

Article quoted appeared in the March, 2009 issue of the Journal of Periodontology.

What is Gum Disease and Why Do I Care?

We discuss what gum disease is and what it can do.  Also, if you ever wondered what all those numbers mean, we explain that too.  Did you know that active gum disease can also increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and pre-term birth?  If your gums bleed when you brush your teeth see your dentist for an exam.
