Food and Drink Damaging to Teeth
Some foods and drinks that are often promoted as being “healthy” are actually the opposite when it comes to teeth and gums. Some surprising contributors to poor dental health include:
• Bread which turns to starch and sticks to the teeth
• Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons and grapefruit contain acids that erode tooth enamel
• Dried fruit contains sugar and sticks in crevices between the teeth
Sugars contained in many foodstuffs can lead to cavities which are “the most common chronic disease” faced by young people so it is important to maintain a good dental health regimen in combination with regular check-ups at the dentist. More food and drinks that damage teeth can be found at:

She believes that restorations (fillings/crowns/veneers) should look beautiful – and that they should last. Dr. Little keeps abreast of new developments in restorative dentistry through post-graduate training.
Dr. Little is also an experienced Facial Aesthetistician, including Botulinum toxins (such as Botox) and Dermafillers. She appreciates how simple and subtle changes to smooth and relax muscles can “freshen” a face, to look younger.
