No and staining: Drinking coffee does not adversely affect teeth in any way. Heavy coffee & tea drinkers usually develop heavy surface staining on their teeth. However, this is only surface staining & does not affect the internal color of teeth. The better you brush & floss, the less the teeth will stain. It might also stain fillings especially the older type. Most of this staining can be removed by your dentist.
