Knowing what foods cause teeth staining is just as important to know which foods can prevent discoloration. Red colored foods and drinks, such as cherries, cranberries, tomato products and wine, can cause discoloration over time.
Coffee and smoking can also contribute to a stained, yellowing smile. If you do indulge in these drinks and foods, chewing a sugar-free gum, rinsing with water, or brushing after will help reduce staining effects.
If you want dramatic whitening results, Dr. Brent L. Blaylock offers a range of teeth whitening treatments. Professional teeth whitening is superior to over-the-counter methods because our products contain whitening agents higher in concentration for long-lasting results. After a professional teeth whitening treatment, consider the foods above to keep your results looking good for as long as possible.
