We know that coffee can stain those pearly whites, but does tea stain teeth? The answer is yes. In fact, tea might be even more likely to stain your teeth than coffee due to its higher tannin content.
How to Deal with Coffee and Tea Stains
Obviously, the best way to reduce tooth staining from coffee or tea is to stop drinking them altogether. However, most coffee and tea drinkers don't find that to be an acceptable solution. Instead of giving up your favourite morning beverage, try these tips to keep your teeth bright and white:
Cut Your Consumption
You might not need to give up coffee or tea entirely, but if you're the kind of person who always has a hot mug in your hand, you might want to think about cutting back. Instead of visiting the office coffeepot every hour, try having a cup of coffee or tea just three times a day—once with every meal.
Drink in One Sitting, Not Throughout the Day
Instead of sipping coffee or tea from your thermos all day long, drink the entire cup in one go. This means your teeth are only exposed to tooth-staining agents once instead of all day long.
Brush and Floss
Make sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss your teeth at least once a day. This helps remove tooth-staining particles from in between your teeth and on your teeth's surfaces.
Visit Your Dentist
When you visit your dentist, you get a deep cleaning that removes the stains that have accumulated over the past six months. Dental visits also help you avoid tooth decay and damage. To keep your teeth looking their best, visit your dentist regularly.
