\"teeth<\/a>If you\u2019re eating these five common teeth-staining foods, you\u2019ve probably noticed your teeth are looking a little dingier than they should. We\u2019re here to help you smile brighter! Keep reading to learn how you may unknowingly be exposing your teeth to highly-pigmented foods, and what you can do about it (hint: <\/span>professional teeth whitening<\/span><\/a> in Fayetteville is a wonderful option!).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1: Blueberries<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yes, their antioxidants make them excellent for your overall health — but it won\u2019t come as a surprise that the same dark, beautiful blueberries are also serious smile stainers. We don\u2019t want you to eliminate them from your diet, but you can take steps to make sure they\u2019re not sticking around for too long near your white tooth enamel: rinse your mouth with water after eating, or consume these and other dark berries with milk or yogurt, which will provide a protective shield over the tooth enamel. <\/span><\/p>\n

#2: Tomatoey Pasta Sauce<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not just the red wine you consume with your evening pasta dish that\u2019s staining your teeth. The tomatoes in pasta sauce are highly pigmented and especially good at clinging onto tooth enamel. To ward off staining during your next Italian night, accompany your meal with crusty bread or crunchy vegetables to naturally scrub away the pigments that cause staining. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Dark Chocolate<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yes, it seems like all the good things in life are also the biggest offenders when it comes to tooth staining. Dark, rich chocolate is no different. To help combat staining, try to consume it in small amounts, and when you do indulge, be sure to rinse your mouth out with water soon after.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4: Coffee<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s no secret that a morning coffee habit leads to dark teeth, but is there anything you can do to maintain your caffeine kick without staining your teeth? The good news is there is. Add milk or creamer to your coffee to neutralize the color a little. And if you\u2019re feeling really bold, you can try switching out coffee for green tea — check out the <\/span>health benefits<\/span><\/a> of green tea if you\u2019re in need of a little convincing. <\/span><\/p>\n

#5: Spices<\/span><\/h3>\n

Certain vibrantly-colored spices, like yellow curry and turmeric, for example, can lead to tooth staining when consumed frequently. If you\u2019re a fan of curry-rich Indian food, eat crunchy vegetables or fruits with or after meals to naturally remove staining-agents from teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n
