Many individuals enjoy a glass of wine with their meals or when out with friends and studies have shown just how good wine can be for one’s heart as well as their overall
health.  Unfortunately, those that do not take care of their oral health may find that this habit can lead to a stained and discolored smile.  Here is a look at the two manners in which wine can affect the teeth as well as the services provided by our Los Angeles cosmetic dentist that may allow wine drinkers to once again smile with confidence.

Nearly all of the foods and beverages that are consumed will either positively or negatively impact the health of one’s teeth.  This includes wine, one substance that is extremely acidic and could lead to dental decay for those that are not diligent about their oral hygiene habits.  The teeth are also extremely porous parts of the body.  This means that many of the tannins within wine can penetrate deep into the teeth to stain them.

In order to avoid both of these types of damage, it is important for everyone to schedule regular dental checkups with our experienced dental specialists at least once every six months.  For those that are currently struggling with a discolored smile, our Los Angeles Zoom teeth whitening experts can also be contacted at any time to brighten a smile by as much as 8 shades in a single hour.  If you are ready for a bright and healthy smile, give our office a call today.
