Warning: Energy Drinks Affect Your Child's Oral Health!

Bachmann Orthodontics

All energy drinks, even the sugar-free ones, contain an incredibly low pH level, which means they are highly acidic, almost as acidic as battery acid. That softens the tooth enamel, leaving your child's teeth highly vulnerable to decay, cavities, and even tooth rot.

Sugar: Constant exposure to sugar in energy drinks provides cavity-causing bacteria with an abundant food source. As they feast, bacteria produce acids that attack and weaken the tooth enamel's outermost layer. That is the first stage in cavity development, which, if left untreated, can continue to progress.
Don't let your teeth get wings.

What can we do to make you smile?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
