Question 1

do any healthy teas not cause teeth staining?

Accepted Answer

Green & White: Generally speaking, the darker the tea, the more it will stain. That said, green tea or the less common white teas will be the least harmful to a pearly white smile.

Question 2

what's a natural cleaner for tea stained teeth?

Accepted Answer

Baking soda: Is a gentle dentifrice that works very well, and you probably already have a box in your fridge!  if that doesn't work, consider a professional cleaning and/or whitening.

It helps to brush your teeth immediately after having tea.

Question 3

how to whiten the tea-stained teeth?

Accepted Answer

Discoloration: Tea stained teeth are temporary  discoloration that can be taken cared of by the dentist. Unlike staining caused by some drugs  like tetracycline among young kids  which are permanent.

Question 4

can food cause stained teeth? i don't drink coffee or smoke, but still think i have fairly stained teeth. are there any types of food that cause stained teeth more than others? maybe it's my diet.

Accepted Answer

Smoking : Smoking and coffee are just two things that stain your teeth relatively quickly. Tea and red wine are two others.

Teeth will darken and stain naturally from all the foods you eat over time. Talk to your dentist about a simple whitening procedure and add a more youthful appearance for a lot less than any other cosmetic procedure.

Accepted Answer

Most : Most whitening systems use the same active ingredient (hydrogen peroxide) whether they are in-office or at home.  The primary difference is the concentration.  Dental office strength can not be placed on the gums, it will whiten and burn them.  I have found that the best method for teeth whitening is with custom bleaching trays made at a dental office.  The rebound seems to be much less than the 1 hour systems.

Question 7

what stains your teeth more?  coffee or tea?

Accepted Answer

Both will stain: Both will stain teeth, but the answer to which will stain more will vary from person to person.  Each mouth reacts differently . The make up of salvia will bethe factor  that determines how much stain you will have.

Question 8

i found out coffee stains teeth, but does tea, what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Water (LOL): Any dark drink will stain teeth.   Coffee, tea, cola, ect.
Teeth can be bleached safely.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No: Generalyl folks that have high concentrate of calcium in their saliva develop tartar. You could be more basic.

Question 10

i noticed stains in between my teeth in the past month that came on suddenly. i brush twice a day and floss daily. only between my teeth are stained, the rest of my tooth is pretty white. i don't drink coffee/tea or smoke. what could be some possible caus

Accepted Answer

Stains: There could be a number of different causes. Coffee/tea/tobacco are not the only things that can stain teeth. If you have not seen a dentist or had your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist lately then that would be a good place to start. Chances are it's just tartar that needs to be removed, but it could also be the start of a cavity, or a leaky silver filling.
