It is believed that drinks such as coffee and tea can have a negative effect on the color of teeth due to the tannins they contain.

To avoid unwanted consequences, coffee and tea drinkers are advised to dilute these drinks with milk and limit their consumption to one or two cups per day.

But there are other foods and drinks that can make your smile less dazzling than it once was.

Wine

Avoid red wine, as it also contains tannins, which, as we already know, can negatively affect the condition of tooth enamel. White wine should also be avoided - it can be harmful due to the high content of acids that destroy enamel.

Soda

Limit your consumption of sugary carbonated drinks. They contain acids that can damage enamel, as well as sugar, which promotes the development of caries.

Berries

Avoid sour and dark berries such as cherries, blueberries, blackberries and cherries.

Vegetables

Be careful with beets and tomatoes. Beets have a high coloring capacity, which can lead to staining of teeth. Tomatoes contain acids that negatively affect enamel.

Seasonings

Avoid frequent use of turmeric and other yellow spices. Although they have antimicrobial properties, they can stain teeth.

Chocolate

Don't get carried away with chocolate. Cocoa beans contain tannins and pigments that can stain the enamel, and milk bars also contain a lot of sugar.
