Studies now show that the properties of red wine may be protecting your teeth from harmful bacteria and gum disease. And some chemicals in white wine may actually be damaging your teeth!

May 27, 2014
If you have started taking a new medication recently, chances are your doctor told you that a side-effect would be dry mouth. This side-effect is common with many prescriptions, and it now affects nearly half of everyone over the age of 65. Drs. Barganier, and Zuffi want to continue educating their patients and their loved ones about this condition and how you can get dry mouth treatment in Goose Creek.
What is dry mouth?
The technical term for dry mouth is xerostomia, and it occurs when a person’s saliva glands are not operating properly to generate the three pints of saliva per day that the average person’s mouth produces. There are three kinds of glands that create and excrete saliva for the mouth, and all need to be working right for everything to feel normal and healthy.

April 20, 2014
A Bottle of Red or a Bottle of White?
According to Billy Joel, “it all depends on your appetite.” If you are enjoying a juicy steak, a bottle of pinot noir or cabernet might be just the ticket. On the other hand, you should probably reach for a sauvignon blanc if you’ve got a plate of tilapia with butter sauce in front of you. But which wine pairs best with teeth?
We’ve all heard that red wine will cause stained teeth, but Drs. Barganier, and Zuffi would like to set the record straight, so Goose Creek residents can make informed choices. New research has shown that red wine protects your teeth and white wine may damage them. If you’re concerned with stains on your teeth, call Carolina Complete Dental today to discuss teeth whitening in Goose Creek.
