March is National Caffeine Awareness Month!
Many people kick start their day with a cup of coffee but have you ever wondered what it does to your teeth?
Just think about it if coffee can stain your clothes, then it can even stain your teeth. Coffee contains ingredients called tannins, which are a type of polyphenol that breaks down in water. They are also found in beverages like wine or tea.
Don’t panic if you’re a coffee lover! Often time your dentist we can get rid of coffee stains during your cleanings, so make sure you schedule regular appointments. You can also help prevent coffee stains by brushing at least twice a day for two minutes and try to avoid cream and sugar, as these only speed up the growth of discoloring bacteria.
Coffee can also cause bad breath, or halitosis, because it sticks to the tongue. To avoid these problems, eat food before you drink coffee, and use a tongue scraper and toothbrush after you finish drinking.
