Do you want to get rid of your teeth stains but are not quite sure which of the many foods you eat are causing your teeth to be stained? There are many different types of foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. Even if you get your teeth professionally whitened on a regular basis, if you eat teeth-staining foods, your teeth will start to stain again.
Why do some foods stain the teeth and others do not? Foods and drinks that cause teeth to stain include the following chemicals: chromogens, acid and tannins. Chromogens and tannins are two compounds that work together to cause teeth stains, as they are both aggressive when it comes to sticking to the teeth’s enamel. This is one of the reasons it is so important to brush one’s teeth after eating. Foods high in acids cause stains by sticking to the enamel, which leaves little patches of stains if not removed in a timely manner.
The following is a list of 10 common types of foods that are known to cause stains to teeth.
