Leading anti-aging and cosmetic dentist Dr. Jessica Emery DMD, PC shared her insights on this new type of teeth stain emerging, even creating the first advanced power whitening service for those who juice. “We all know the basics like red wine and coffee yellow teeth, but one factor people don’t often think of is juice. Juicing is the latest craze and it can stain your teeth like crazy,” says Dr. Emery.

Witnessing this new type of stain pattern occurring, Sugar Fix Dental Loft Chicago has created one of the first whitening services for juicers & cleansers: The Chromogen Smile Cleanse. Fruits and veggies like berries, beets, carrots, spinach and kale pack potent nutrients that also create strong, quickly adhering stains. The Chromogen Smile Cleanse aka The Fresh Juice – Fresh Smiles Advanced Power Whitening Service, coined by Chicago’s leading cosmetic dentist Dr. Emery, will provide the special whitening technique needed for one time, occasional and daily juicers.

“Color in foods come from chromogens, intensely pigmented molecules that adhere to enamel,” explains Dr. Emery, founder of Sugar Fix Dental Loft Chicago. “Food compounds found in popular juicing ingredients increase a chromogens’ ability to stick to enamel. I use white Tupperware bowls to collect my juice and no matter how hard I scrub it doesn’t come completely clean. Just think of how juicing affects teeth in the same way.”

In just one 90 minute visit, Dr. Emery will reverse juicing’s highly pigmented, hard to erase stains, yielding results up to 5 shades brighter. All advanced power whitening patients will also receive professional, customized take home trays and products to maintain their results.
