Three Foods That You Didn't Know Stain Teeth

1. Simmer sauce. It's the acidity in the tomatoes that piece your teeth with a reddish yellow hue. So even if you get the organic, all natural, New Zealand grown and produced pasta sauce your still at risk of tooth discolouration. To protect your teeth chew on some leafy greens beforehand to make a natural protective film on your teeth. This hinders the discolouration process and keeps your teeth nice and white.

2. Curry.  It's fantastic and we know it stains clothes, now know it stains teeth. One property of curry is that it's oily and oil mixed with the deep colours of curry gives it strong enamel penetration. If you're eating curry thinking about this article, try and make it the last meal of the day. Because tarter and plaque build up on your teeth throughout the day. This gives teeth a barrier before you remove it (and the oily stains) by brushing before bed.

3. Berries. These sweet all natural fruits have dirty little secrets. The high acidity and the reddish reds combined leave a lasting impression on your teeth over time. A way to minimise this is to drink a glass of water afterwards. This minimises the time that the berries natural juice can stick to your teeth. Another tip would be to have foods with low acidity, like baking soda rich food or hard cheese. This helps neutralise the acidity in your mouth.
