Coffee and red wine = obvious culprits.
But did you know soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and even fruits like blueberries can stain your teeth over time? Acidic foods weaken enamel, making stains more likely to stick. Fortunately, rinsing with water after eating and keeping up with regular professional dental cleanings can help maintain a bright smile. What foods should you limit?

Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables, as well as dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and drink plenty of water to help strengthen your teeth and maintain your mouth's health. On the other hand, try to limit sugary snacks, sticky candies, and acidic drinks like soda and citrus juice, which can weaken enamel and lead to cavities. A tooth-friendly diet supports a healthy smile from the inside out! 😁🥕
