Foods That Stain Teeth


Weight gain is not the only factor one should consider when consuming food. Some foods and dark coloured drinks can stain teeth if precautions aren’t taken. 




Do not be alarmed as it can easily be avoided by legitimating your intake of problem foods or to rinse your mouth out with water, floss and brush your teeth or chew gum immediately after consuming them. 

In the case of red wine brushing your teeth after consumption could harm your teeth enamel. It is advice to wash out ones mouth in order to neutralise the negative effects.
There are also foods that act as natural teeth whiteners- such as apples, broccoli, spinach and strawberries. 

These are some of the foods prone to staining:
1.       Black coffee
2.      Tea
3.       Red wine
4.      Coke
5.      Cranberry juice
6.      Soya sauce
7.       Tomato sauce
8.      Blueberries
9.      Beets
10.   Curry
