Ever wondered how big of a deal your daily soda habit really is to your overall health? What about your smile? From a dental standpoint, the sugar in sodas is not the only threat your teeth face.

These substances can also be incredibly staining, potentially leading to dramatic discoloration that can cause teeth to look prematurely aged. So, even if you have no plans to ditch sodas entirely, now is a great time to actually consider your preventive dentists’ best tips for protecting your smile! (more…)
