You can have your white teeth, and drink coffee too!
There’s nothing better than starting your morning with a warm cup of coffee. You may have heard of the effects coffee has on our teeth, but how much of this is actually true? Spoiler alert: your morning routine could be impacting your oral health.
If coffee can stain your clothes, it can stain your teeth. Coffee contains ingredients called tannins, which are a type of polyphenol that breaks down in water – also found in wine or tea.
Tannins cause color compounds that stick to your teeth. When these stick to your teeth, they can leave behind an unwanted yellow hue.
Don’t want to give up your coffee? Here’s what you can do to keep your teeth clean:
- Avoid using creamer / sugar
- Drinking water after your cup of coffee to rinse your mouth and teeth
- Brushing your teeth 30 minutes after, or chewing some gum to remove any acid and protect your tooth enamel
You can book into one of our studios to get your teeth cleaned, and enquire about whitening to keep your teeth clean and shiny!
