How did your teeth get stained? Aside from age
and accidents, which cause teeth to stain from
the inside out, we are going to look at how the
external surface of the teeth gets stained by
foods and beverages.

To begin with, the enamel on the tooths exterior
can weaken and crack over time. This can allow
stains to start to form on the teeth and cause
them to discolour.

In addition, certain things could actually harm
the enamel and eat through it completely, like
the cavity causing bacteria found in plaque and
tartar.

three specific types of ingredients you need to
be aware of, which are

Acids  Acids attach the tooth enamel and can
cause it to weaken, which allows stains to form
easier. Chromo gens  Chromo gens have coloured
pigments in them and are a compound that will
stick to the enamel on the teeth.

Tannins  Tannins are also a compound that is
plant-based, and helps make stains adhere to
teeths enamel easier.These ingredients can be
found in various types of foods and beverages

Coffee and tea are two popular beverages that can
cause staining on the teeth. Tea contains acids
and tannins. Together they help break down the
protective enamel and make it easier to the
tannins to stick to the surface, resulting in
staining.

Coffee, on the other hand, contains acid and
chromo gens. Just like tea, the acid in coffee
will wear down the enamel and cause staining.

However, you might be surprised to learn the
staining caused by coffee is less severe than
staining caused by drinking tea.

When it comes to colas, all contain acid,
regardless of whether they are dark or clear.
Chromo gens are also present in dark coloured
soft drinks.

For those people, who like to drink red and white
wines, both of these can also cause staining. Red
wines contain all three acids, chromo gens, and
tannins

which can lead to staining not only from the
wine, but other types of foods, too, such as
tomatoes and berries. The only difference with
white wine is it lacks the chromo gens.
