As a general dentist, I get a lot of questions about what foods and drinks cause staining or yellowing of teeth.

Coffee and tea are two beverages that cause a lot of staining - so here's a tip! If you drink iced coffee or tea, a reusable (or compostable) straw will help limit contact with your teeth and reduce staining.

Some other tips for a beautiful and healthy mouth:

Brush your teeth after each meal, this will help prevent decay and bad breath.

Floss to remove plaque.

Schedule your routine dental hygiene appointment.
