Food And Drink To Avoid Teeth Staining

  • Foods, Teeth Stains, Teeth Whitening

When you think of one of the most beautiful smiles you’ve ever seen, you probably think of perfectly white teeth, don’t you? White teeth have been a beauty standard that has been accepted for many years. It’s hard to keep your teeth white when many of your favorite foods and drinks stain your teeth. In this post, Parkcrest Dental Group analyzes the top foods and drinks that stain your teeth.

Coffee

It keeps you awake and pushes you through your day, however it’s not the best drink when it comes to your oral health. Coffee is known to be acidic and contains acidic polyphenols called tannins. This can lead to staining, discoloration, and overall tooth decay if you aren’t monitoring your intake. Try limiting your coffee drinking to one or two cups a day instead of the usual three cups in an hour.

Red Wine

While you may enjoy a nice glass on a girl’s night out, it’s also known to stain teeth. Chromogens, which are pigment-producing substances in red wine, can attach themselves onto dental enamel and stain your teeth. Red wine is also highly acidic, and drinking enough of it can slowly erode your enamel, causing yellow stains to shine through.

Cola

Regular or diet, it’s still bad for your teeth. Soda contains acids that damage and yellow your teeth. Instead of drinking soda, try replacing a soda a day with a glass of water. Water is said to be the best drink for your dental health since it contains small amounts of fluoride.

Berries

There’s nothing like a fresh strawberry or blueberry on a summer day, but sadly, berries are known for being teeth stainers because of their dark color hues. After eating them, make sure to brush and floss to remove any pesky seeds or stains that stick to the surface.

Tomato-Based Sauces

Whether on pizza or pasta, red sauces are a common teeth stainer. If you only put red sauce on a handful of meals every month, you’re probably in the clear. Just make sure to keep track of how much your eating!

Balsamic Vinegar

Although it makes a good salad dressing, balsamic vinegar is also on the list of foods that stain your teeth since it can be so sticky.
