myrose Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 We made it in today at the dentist. When we got there her dentist came right over and took a look before her cleaning even took place. He took one look and said to not worry and asked what she has been drinking. I told him she drinks pom wonderful blueberry juice, simply lemonade and water, and thats it. He laughed and said BINGO! Pom wonderful juice is staining her teeth. He then used his little machines there and her teeth were back to NEW! I was so worried and feel like a fool that I thought it was something bad. He told me that the staining would not have come off even with a good hard brusing. He also said NOT to stop drinking that juice! He was very happy to hear about her drinking the juice. We live on that stuff here so I am wondering why my teeth have not done that. Of course I did not think to ask him that LOL Anyhow he also mentioned something else about why teeth would stain and I thought I would pass along to all you here. He said nasal congestion of any sort whether through a cold, allergies, etc causes of course mouth breathing. He said this will stain teeth as well. So if any of you have children who breathe through their mouth alot and they have stains.....could be why I feel much better now.....now if only I could find the true reason for the tics! Thanks to all who responded to my post yesterday on her teeth issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all who responded to my post yesterday on her teeth issue! I was and still am a mouth breather! I have stained teeth from tea. My ds drinks acai juice and I'm wondering why his teeth haven't stained yet, either. We have a cleaning scheduled for him next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryn Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 That is awesome news! We drink it too over here but the kids' teeth don't look stained.... You know what? They use sippy cups with straws! Maybe that is why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
