It’s one of the oldest swap outs! You want a glass of red wine but you don’t want stains. You don’t want to hurt your smile. As a result, you protect your oral health and the vibrancy of your teeth by choosing white wine, right? Well. Actually, white wine is dangerous for your teeth, too. You won’t get that allover reddish, purplish cast right away. However, this is one very acidic beverage. Over time, it breaks down your enamel. The result? Damage and a greater chance of pigmented foods causing discoloration.
Maybe you skip your preferred regular coffee in the afternoon or evening and go for decaf instead. When you avoid caffeine, you protect yourself against oral health related problems like bruxism, TMJ disorder, and sleep apnea (it can be hard to fall asleep with caffeine in your system). Bad news: That cup of decaffeinated coffee contains caffeine. Not as much! However, it’s still in there. If you’ve been wondering why your decaf is wiring you, now you know.
Skip the alcohol and the sleeping pills. Opt instead for the natural version of relaxation, such as meditation, calming music, etc., if you want to promote your best experience with sleep apnea treatment. The artificial stuff contributes to collapsing throat tissues!
