Being mindful of your oral hygiene is essential to maintaining a bright, white smile. However, watching what you eat and drink can also help keep those pesky stains at bay.

There are several factors that contribute to foods causing tooth discolouration. These include high acidity levels, bright or deep hue’s, dark natural food colours and deep pigmentation. These features tend to cling to the teeth, staining the surface of your pearly whites.

To help keep your smile pristine as can be, we’ve combined a list of 10 common culprits that may very well stain your smile. These include:

  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Soft Drinks
  • Dark Juices
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Soy Sauce
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Red Wine
  • Sweets & Lollies

Whilst some of these might be your favourite things to drink and nibble on, your beautiful smile can be preserved by taking more caution. Moderation is important when it comes to food and beverages that cause discolouration. It’s also a good idea to try rinse your mouth with water, or even better, brush your teeth within half an hour of eating as brushing removes food particles that attach to the teeth and cause staining. Doing this can significantly help with preserving your white smile.
