Having a bright, white smile can help you feel great about yourself. Unfortunately, some of the foods and drinks we consume can lead to tooth discolouration. Here are five of the top culprits for stained teeth:
1. Coffee: The dark color and acidity can erode enamel, causing yellowing or browning.
2. Red wine: The tannins can make teeth more porous and susceptible to staining.
3. Tea: The tannins and acidity in tea, especially black tea, can weaken enamel and cause discolouration.
4. Soda: The dark color and high sugar content can contribute to tooth decay and discolouration, and the acid can erode enamel.
5. Berries: Dark berries, like blueberries and blackberries, contain pigments that can stick to teeth and cause discoloration.
