Sipping water in between successive cups of coffee can help wash away the stains caused by coffee. Water has the advantage of keeping you hydrated.
Key takeaways:
- Brushing the teeth regularly and after taking coffee will help prevent staining of teeth especially after taking coffee.
- Drinking coffee using a straw will avert direct contact with the teeth. It is more effective with iced coffee enthusiasts.
- Adding milk to your coffee will prevent staining. Casein in milk binds to tannins that cause staining.
Less liquid touches your teeth when you drink it through a straw. The smaller the straw, the better. This comes more naturally to iced coffee drinkers, but it works for hot coffee too.
