										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your teeth are what you show to the world. It’s understandable that you’d want them to be<br />
beautiful and white. Unfortunately, as we age, our tooth enamel is subject to staining. How<br />
does this happen?</p>
<p>Tooth enamel is actually porous. Over time, our teeth can get stained. This happens for a few<br />
reasons, lack of proper dental care and eating habits among them.<br />
What eating habits will lead to tooth discoloration? Here are some foods you might want to<br />
watch out for and what you can do.</p>
<p><strong>The Top Staining Foods</strong></p>
<p>All foods have the potential to contribute to your teeth staining if you aren’t brushing your<br />
teeth. However, there are a few that will cause more staining than others, especially if you’re<br />
not drinking water or brushing afterwards.</p>
<p>These include foods like tomatoes (especially in pasta sauce), berries, and strong spices. Any<br />
berry has the potential to stain your teeth. Particularly potent ones include blueberries,<br />
blackberries, and cranberries. Spices such as curry and turmeric can also cause your teeth to<br />
have a yellow or brownish tinge.</p>
<p>Other foods that could stain include balsamic vinegar and candies that contain food dye.<br />
The Top Beverages That Stain</p>
<p>In addition to eating habits, beverages can stain your teeth just as much if not more than<br />
certain foods do. The biggest culprits are coffee, tea, and red wine. Regular consumption of all<br />
of these beverages can majorly stain your smile over time. Even certain juices can discolor your<br />
teeth—think cranberry or cherry juice.</p>
<p>Although some of these stains will be superficial and can be removed with a toothbrush, others<br />
will go deeper and may need a professional whitening to correct. Your best and safest drink for<br />
your smile is water, so it’s smart to consume all other beverages in moderation!</p>
<p><strong>Getting Your Whitest Smile Possible</strong></p>
<p>You don’t have to totally give up the foods you love to have a smile that you love too. Follow<br />
these tips to get your whitest smile possible:</p>
<p> Drink water. Drinking water while consuming teeth-staining foods or drinking beverages<br />
that can stain will help. It minimizes the staining damage and rinses your mouth!</p>
<p> Brush your teeth. It’s a bad idea to brush immediately after eating as it can harm tooth<br />
enamel, so try to wait about a half hour. After this, gently <a href="http://www.ryesmilesforlife.com/blog/" title="brush your teeth" target="_blank">brush your teeth </a>to help<br />
remove surface stains and stop any additional staining from setting in.</p>
<p> Use a straw. Using a straw for beverages such as coffee and tea can help the drink to<br />
bypass your teeth, therefore helping to cut down on stains.</p>
<p> Visit your dentist. Your dentist can remove most surface stains through professional<br />
cleanings, especially regular ones! You can also talk with your dentist about getting a<br />
professional whitening to get rid of any deep stains you might have.</p>
<p>It’s easy to have a white smile when you properly care for <a href="http://www.ryesmilesforlife.com/services/cosmetic-dentistry-2/" title="your teeth" target="_blank">your teeth</a>!<br />
Tooth staining is embarrassing and can cause people to hide their smiles even if they have<br />
perfectly straight teeth. While there are certain <a href="http://yourdentalhealthresource.com/the-dental-diet-how-nutrition-can-enhance-your-dental-health/" title="The Dental Diet: How Nutrition Can Enhance Your Dental Health" target="_blank">foods </a>and drinks that can cause staining, you<br />
can help protect your smile with the right care. Drinking enough water, brushing your teeth,<br />
and visiting your dentist can help you achieve your brightest smile!</p>
