Everything that you eat will affect your\r\nteeth so you must know what\u2019s causing the discolouration. If you\u2019d\r\nlike a radiant, stain-free smile read on to learn about four of the\r\nmain foods that can affect the colour of your teeth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r\nTea and\r\ncoffee<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone\r\nloves a cup of tea or coffee in the morning and that\u2019s fine,\r\nhowever, constantly drinking these brews throughout the day can cause\r\nyour teeth to turn brown. Tea and coffee both contain tannins which\r\ncause the staining and over time you will notice your smile becoming\r\nduller and duller. Limiting the amount of tea and coffee you drink\r\nwill have a positive impact on your smile and keep it looking bright.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alcohol<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dark\r\nliquors and red wine and one of the most common culprits for causing\r\nstained teeth. Just as these liquids can stain clothing and fabrics,\r\nthe same can happen to your teeth. It\u2019s fine to enjoy the\r\noccasional red wine but regular drinking will take its toll on your\r\nteeth, not to mention drying out your mouth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sugar<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweets,\r\ncakes, fizzy drinks and even fruit all contain sugar so you must\r\nmaintain a good brushing routine so the substance does not settle on\r\nyour teeth. Failure to do so can result in tooth decay and cavities\r\nwhich will cause overall discolouration or dark patches across your\r\nteeth. \r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r\nCurry<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether\r\nyou like a Korma or a Chicken Tikka, having a curry is a tasty treat\r\nbut with its deep colouring from spices and other ingredients the\r\npigment can change the shade of your teeth. Be sure to brush and\r\nrinse your mouth to prevent permanent staining.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\r\nat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riversidedentalpractice.co.uk\/\">Riverside\r\nDental Practice<\/a>,\r\nbased in Stirling, we\u2019ve been offering high-quality dental services\r\nfor over 40 years.
