Black tea and coffee contain stain-promoting tannins that lodge into the pits and grooves of the tooth enamel, producing a rough, stained surface, which is sticky and can retain decay-producing bacteria.Consume such beverages in moderation, drink more water every day, and add milk to your coffee or tea to help neutralize the acids.
Thanks for the helpful advice! I'm trying to make sure my teeth stay as white as possible, and I want to make sure that I know what foods and drinks are damaging my teeth. I'll definitely take the advice offered for hot drinks. http://www.flemingtonfamilycosmeticdental.com/services.html
