Teeth Staining Food No. 10: Does Fruit Juice Damage Your Teeth?

America is full of parents trying to feed their kids the right things and make healthy decisions for your children. When you have a choice between handing over a glass of grape juice or a can of soda, the decision seems easy. Fruit juice is healthier and does better for your kids, or so you might think. The truth is that fruit juice, especially darker juices like cranberry and grape, can do just as much damage as soda.

Why are Fruit Juices so Bad?

Fruit juices often contain a high amount of calories, and some of the more popular juice blends contain less than 10 percent real fruit juice. If you have a few extra pounds around your midsection and can’t figure out why, the juices you drink might be the culprit. While an orthodontist can’t help you get rid of those extra pounds, but he can surely help you get back your smile. Teeth whitening is a process that takes place over the course of several weeks or months. It can lighten yellow spots and other discolorations and make you proud to smile again. Professional teeth cleaning and whitening products work much more effectively than the products you use at home do.

Dr Patricia Panucci

Dr Patti Panucci attended the University of Louisville School of Dentistry for four years, where she graduated with a DMD degree (May 2000) among the Top 10 in her class. Following that, she headed west to Los Angeles to complete her three-year residency at one of the top-ranked orthodontic programs in the country – the University of Southern California.

Along with her certificate in orthodontics, Dr. Panucci earned a master’s degree in craniofacial biology. During those three years, she fell in love with Southern California beach life and decided that this was where her future lay.
