OMG - My Teeth Are Going to Turn Yellow!


I was reading a magazine (Details) and they listed the top 8 things that will turn your teeth yellow, or rather, at least stain your teeth if you aren't careful. Basically, I've had almost everything on the list THIS WEEKEND - oy vey! I read that it's not about the actual color of the thing you're eating but rather, about how aggressively it bonds to your teeth - something called tannins are in them and they are like velcro to your teeth. Yikes. Anyway, here's the list:

  1. Tomato Sauce
  2. Blueberries
  3. Balsamic vinegar
  4. Soy sauce
  5. Red wine
  6. Coffee
  7. Tea
  8. Cigarettes
  9. Water (I made that one up)
This information is according to GoSmile founder Dr. Jonathan Levine.
