Here is a dental tip for you. Some people think eating foods that contain turmeric causes teeth staining, but they don’t. Staining happens when the acids in the food you eat weaken and open up the pores in your tooth enamel. Keep your tooth enamel in good shape by avoiding highly acidic foods and sodas. If you plan on consuming turmeric or tooth staining things like tea or coffee, immediately rinse your mouth after eating or drinking and brush your teeth gently. Turmeric actually has the ability to help with tooth plaque, if you also have good brushing and flossing practices. Research shows that turmeric has positive effects on those suffering from gingivitis and has been shown to be effective in decreasing inflammation.

“How do you feel about having so many audience members?”
“I don't know! All I can imagine is 4,000 eyes staring at me and that is so scary!”
