Mukilteo Dentist Dr. Onishi: Seven Nastiest Teeth Staining Culprits

June 25, 2015 By HarbourPLaceDental

Mukilteo SmilesMukilteo Dentist Dr. Kathy Onishi : Seven Nastiest Teeth Staining Culprits to Watch Out for:

A lot of people spend so much time and cash on teeth whitening treatments but commonly neglect the source of teeth staining. Prevention is better, and less costly, than treatment– so it’s best to avoid the seven worst teeth staining offenders.

 Perpetrator # 1 Coffee and Tea

We all enjoy a good cup of coffee or tea, however if you readily drink numerous mugs every day, the tannin chemicals will cause your teeth to turn yellow. If you truly love coffee or tea,drink in moderation and rinse with water after consuming your favorite beverage.

Perpetrator # 2 Dark Fruits-Blueberries and Cherries

Even healthy and nutritious dark fruits like blueberries and cherries can stain teeth and fillings. If you indulge in them be sure to brush and rinse with water afterwards.

 Wrongdoer # 3 Cigarettes

Cigarettes are among the worst teeth staining offenders not just because of the staining effect of tobacco leaves, however likewise due to the fact that smoking cigarettes is such an addictive practice that lots of struggle to break. In addition, chronic smokers have deep, dark discolorations that are tough to remove with over-the -counter products and frequently need more costly professional treatment. 

Offender # 4 Wine

Wine is another tooth staining wrongdoer due to the dark purple color from the grapes utilized in production. Dark wines such as reds are undoubtedly more liable to stain your teeth compared with the clear white wines. If you routinely take pleasure in a glass of wine, make certain to swish out your mouth with clear water to decrease the staining effect. 

Perpetrator # 5 Sodas

Dark colored sodas include food colors that stain the teeth so it’s best to limit their consumption. Always make use of a straw to reduce contact with your teeth, try to choose light colored or clear sodas and rinse out your mouth with clean water afterwards.

 Wrongdoer # 6 Processed Foods

Processed foods are choke- loaded with chemicals and food colors to make them visually appealing and mouth wateringly tasty. Yet these artificial compounds are also teeth staining culprits. Not encouraged? Take a good take a look at your teeth after consuming a packet of chips or other crispy treat. No doubt their color will certainly resemble that of the snack you have actually just consumed. If you relish them consume them in moderation and make sure to brush and rinse your teeth afterwards.

Perpetrator # 7 Spices and Curry Powder

If you spices like turmeric or a mixture of spices (curry powder) in cooking a delicious curry be warned that your teeth may be stained yellow. It will take some time but will eventually clear itself out.

🦷 DENTAL Q&A OF THE WEEK

Q: Is brushing twice a day enough?

A: Brushing twice daily for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste is essential—but it is not the complete routine. Even a good toothbrush cannot fully clean the tight spaces between teeth, where plaque can remain.
