How does drinking pop amd coffee whiten you teeth? does it really?

They don't: Coffee has the ability to stain your teeth not whiten your teeth. Soda, which is very acidic, can lead to microporosities in your enamel which can actually pick up stain. You should not brush your teeth for 30 minutes after drinking anything aicidic.

No: No, soda and coffee would have the opposite effect. They stain the teeth. The best tooth whitening product is dentist prescribed whitening gel and custom made teeth whitening trays.

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.
