Chicago, April 3: Drinking white wine instead of red to prevent harmful buildup on pearly teeth is not a wise idea because white wine has the same damaging effect on teeth as red wine

The researchers found that acid contents in white wine can potentially create rough spots and grooves in teeth that allow chemicals in other beverages, such as coffee and tea, to penetrate deeper into the teeth, triggering the risk of dark dental stains.

Norway, February 1:A dazzling smile can win you a lot of compliments but it may cost you your eyes and skin.

Pearly-white teeth are not hard to achieve with all the technology available today but if the procedure involves exposure to ultraviolet light, you better give it another thought.

Tooth bleaching is among most popular cosmetic dental treatments, which is aimed at removing the stains of tea, coffee and nicotine from the teeth. Hydrogen peroxide is the most commonly used bleaching agent and in many cases, the teeth are further exposed to UV light, which is believed to enhance the results by activating the oxidation process.
