While teeth aren’t supposed to be flawlessly white all the time, they shouldn’t have cavities, stains, or brown discolouration.
There are some drinks that are known to cause teeth discoloration. Among them are:
- Coffee: The tannins and dark color of coffee stick to teeth, discoloring them. When sugar is added to coffee, it can introduce germs and acids that damage enamel and cause discoloration.
- Tea: Tea tannins adhere to teeth and cause stains that weaken enamel.
- Soda: Even in sugar-free varieties, soda’s acidity can encourage the growth of oral germs in spite of its sugar content, discoloring teeth.
- Alcoholic Drinks: Frequent intake of beer and darker beverages, such as porters and stouts, can discolor teeth, giving them a yellow or brown appearance.
- Red Wine: Teeth enamel can be eroded and stained more easily by the tannins, acids, and natural dyes found in red wine.
- Fruit juices: Sugars in juices like pomegranate and cranberry encourage the growth of bacteria in the mouth and can discolor teeth.
- Consider using an electric toothbrush with a whitening option to efficiently clean your mouth and eliminate surface stains if you want to keep your teeth white.
- Teeth whitening strips: These convenient, at-home procedures, like those provided by Orisdental, are secure and efficient. Even long-lasting, difficult stains can be successfully removed by them.
- Pens for teeth whitening: These are handy and have the potential to be quite successful, especially when combined with an LED accelerator light. This light facilitates the whitening formula’s faster stain removal.
These pens can also aid in the removal of surface stains and shield the gum line by minimizing plaque bacteria, which lowers the risk of gum disease.
