Bright Eyes, Dull Teeth?

Whether we’re getting our morning jolt of coffee or enjoying a spot of tea, these popular pick-me-ups can tarnish our pearly whites.

Coffee and tea are notorious for staining.

Coffee, in particular, is very acidic leading it to wear away enamel. This can result in your teeth having a dingy appearance.

Although giving up your coffee or tea habit is the best way to avoid the darkening of your teeth, it’s usually not an option as many people rely on this popular daily practice to get through the day.

Instead, consider rinsing your teeth or drinking water after consuming either beverage and limit drinking coffee or tea throughout your day. Using whitening toothpaste and brushing regularly can also go a long way when it comes to limiting stains and keeping your smile brighter.

For all your dental needs and whitening options to help enhance your smile, please call us at Riaz Dental on 68621261 or visit www.riazdental.com.au

 

Find It Hard To Breathe In Spring?

With spring in the air, 2.7 million people with asthma are being advised to keep a check on their hay fever symptoms as pollen season kicks in.

Asthma hospitalisation rates peak in September and people with asthma are urged to get on the offense to manage their symptoms.

Symptoms include: itchy, runny or blocked nose; itchy or watery eyes; sneezing; always feeling like you have a head cold; blocked nose; throat clearing or coughing to clear the throat; snoring; mouth breathing; shortness of breath; and wheezing

The most important approach to managing and preventing asthma and hay fever symptoms during spring is preventer and maintenance medicine.

Some medicines take up to three weeks before they are effective at reducing sensitivity to triggers like pollen, so start treating symptoms now.

Visit www.asthma.org.au for more information.
