🦷 How Coffee Affects Your Teeth
1. Stains Enamel - the ultimate coffee lover's nemesis! Coffee contains tannins, which cause pigments to stick to enamel. Over time, this leads to yellow or brown discoloration, especially if you drink multiple cups a day. Because, let's be real, one cup is never enough.
2. Bad Breath (Halitosis) - a.k.a. coffee breath. Coffee's strong compounds stick to the tongue and cheeks. Combined with reduced saliva, this can cause persistent "coffee breath". Not exactly the freshest way to start your day.

😁 Tips to Protect Your Teeth
Rinse with water after drinking coffee to wash away acids and pigments. Don't be lazy, it's worth the extra few seconds!
Wait 30 minutes before brushing - brushing too soon can erode softened enamel. Patience is a virtue, folks!
Drink through a straw to limit contact with teeth. Because who doesn't love drinking coffee like a kid?
Add milk - it raises the pH and provides calcium, reducing enamel damage. Milk does a body (and teeth) good!
Regular cleanings and whitening treatments can minimize stains. Stay on top of those dentist appointments, people!

Happy Boss’s Day! 🦷
From all of us on the team — thank you for being the crown jewel of this office! Your leadership is smoother than a freshly polished molar, and your ability to keep everything running without any extractions (of sanity) is seriously impressive.
We appreciate how you handle pressure better than a stressed-out bitewing, and how you always manage to bridge the gap between fun and professional. Thanks for keeping us smiling — even when the schedule is packed tighter than an impacted wisdom tooth.
Hope your Boss’s Day is flawless — just like your chairside manner!
With appreciation and a lot of laughs,
Your (mostly well-behaved) dental team 😄
