Would you like permission to drink red wine? 

According to U.S. News & World Report red wine contains chemicals that may help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.  A study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.  Apparently a team of researchers in Spain discovered that red wine contains polyphenol, a micronutrient that reduces the effects of bacteria which cause plaque, cavities and gum disease. (It may not help with your teeth whitening though).

So now, should we all do our own research?  Ask the dentist and hygienists at Nayaug Family Dental.
