People can stain their teeth in more ways than one. A big silent killer is drinking anything that is highly acidic. According to Professor Laurence Walsh, some highly acidic drinks, like orange juice, can do more damage to teeth than soft drinks.
Soft drinks and citric juices are the top contenders in dental erosion. The reason being there are acids contained in these drinks that dissolve any hard surfaces of the teeth that are exposed, such as the enamel. If the protective enamel is gone, the inner part of the teeth are left exposed. This leads to sensitivity. Also, not only can these acids dissolve outer surfaces, it can also damage the internal parts of one’s teeth; thus leading to the saliva’s ability to repair the teeth weakened.
Citric, phosphoric, and tartaric acid all contribute to dental erosion if someone were to drink soda or citric juice. All three can damage and all three can certainly lead to discoloration of teeth. …show more content…
If someone were to eat and then immediately brush their teeth after, the aggressive brushing brushes away the softened and weakened enamel. Teeth can still get stained if someone were to avoid anything that is not water and wait an hour or two to brush their teeth. Dental erosion just allows the teeth to be stained faster due to the dentin being exposed.
Wine may have really nice benefits for your body, like relaxation and benefits for one’s heart, but wine has no benefits whatsoever for the teeth. There are pigments called “anthocyanin” in wine and grape juice. These pigments allow the wine and/or grape juice to really leave a mark on teeth if someone were to drink often. However, anthocyanin has also been proved to be quite beneficial to the human body. Berries, slushies, popsicles, citric drinks, or anything dark and rich in color can stain teeth, and the possibility of anthocyanin being present in these products are
