Energize Without Energy Drinks | Palm Harbor Dentist

These days can be trying for everyone involved. Between social distancing and keeping our hands clean, we are looking everywhere to have some type of normalcy. For many of us, energy drinks are keeping us alert and ready to take on the constant updates on our world. The problem is, if you don’t watch your intake, those comforting energy drinks are going to begin to do more harm than good.

Fact is, even if most people know that drinking energy drinks regularly is bad for the body, it seems that the energy boost isn’t all that worth it, especially since it comes at the expense of your beautiful smile. The main root of the problem is a mix of extremely high sugar content and a citric acid pH that’s usually as low as 2.9 all in one drink.

Now, sugar, as we all know, is bad for the teeth. It’s basically the main cause of cavities and a whole bunch of other dental problems. But, it’s the combination of the sugar content and acidic levels that makes energy drinks such a danger to the teeth. Anything acidic, when consumed regularly and in high amounts, can cause damage to tooth enamel, which in time can lead to a myriad of dental problems, including tooth sensitivity, tooth discoloration and pain or discomfort in the teeth.

In addition to minimizing the consumption of sports and energy drinks, plenty of dental professionals recommend chewing sugar-free gum or rinsing their mouth with water after consuming such drinks to promote salivary flow and help the acidity levels of the mouth return to normal. If you choose to brush, wait an hour before you do to prevent spreading the acids.

Facelifts at the Dentist? | Palm Harbor Dentist

When we think of cosmetic surgery, we think of older women and celebrities trying to hold onto what youth they have left or in hopes of remaining relevant just a tad bit longer. What we don’t think about is getting these cosmetic alterations at the dentist. But it’s true – there are plenty of reasons that your dental professional is well versed at Botox and other facial fillers.

No longer are you forced to visit a cosmetic surgeon to rectify the facial issues you may see, but you now have a reason to keep your dental checkups as well. Two beauty treatments in one! Botox is the most effective remedy to diminish wrinkles from the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth. And Dr. Lieberman is pleased to offer Botox to smooth out forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet.

For those that are unaware, this is how it works: Botox is simple because it is injected into muscles to reduce muscle activity, that allow for a more youthful and natural glow. Patients are also raving about facial fillers because they offer the same benefits of a face lift. It’s an instant gratification but without the surgical procedure.

Dr. Lieberman agrees that Botox and facial fillers are the best options for facial rejuvenation and the procedures are completely safe so there is no need to fear. After all, this is your dental professional. They know how to look after you. So, if you are looking for a quick and easy alternative to surgery and want to restore your youthfulness, contact Dr. Lieberman about Botox and facial fillers today.
