Article in Daily Mail today about 'acid attacks' on teeth.

The British dental association have launched an information service called 'Bureau for Information on Tooth Erosion', or BITE.

website is: www.bite.uk.com and helpline 01295 224 549.

Apparently one in eight youngsters are consuming 22 can of fizz every week!

Their advice states, drink water or milk instead of fruit juice or diet fizzy drinks.

Dilute fruit juices as much as possible, never brush teeth straight after having a drink and use a straw if poss to help direct drink to the back of the mouth.

I read that children in Norway are regularely given fluoride tablets very early on and it has lead (years later) to increases in gum diseases because they stopped brushing (or brushed very "lightly")... Food for thought I thought !
