Some drinks and seasonings can change the color of tooth enamel, said dentist I. Nazilina.
According to the specialist, one should be wary of dishes containing coloring agents. Tea, coffee, cola, curry, turmeric, beets, and blueberries are harmful to enamel.
Red wines cause the most pronounced staining due to the tannins they contain.
The expert also named foods that help neutralize the effects of coloring agents. For example, one can drink tea or water with lemon. Greens, strawberries, celery, and baked pumpkin are considered natural whiteners.
Additionally, the doctor listed foods that are harmful to teeth. These include potatoes and sweets, which create a favorable environment for caries-causing bacteria.
Pickles and canned products made with vinegar also negatively affect enamel. After consuming such dishes, it is recommended to rinse the mouth or brush the teeth, the doctor concluded.
