Here we are again with Detective D. Kayβs latest investigation! π΅οΈββοΈβ¨
Some foods and drinks can leave clues on your teeth and some stains are so bright they remind us of a place where people chew betel nut and their teeth turn red!
Here are some food and drinks that can stain your teeth:
π **Dark berries** β deep purple-blue pigments cling to enamel
π« **Chocolate** β darker varieties can tint the grooves of teeth
π
**Tomato sauces** β bright red pigments settle into tiny enamel pores
π΅ **Tea** β tannins can slowly cause yellowing
π§ **Colored juices** β dyes + natural pigments stick easily
π **Artificially colored candies** β reds, blues and greens can temporarily tint teeth
π₯€ **Sports drinks & flavored waters** β dyes + acids can make staining easier
π΅οΈββοΈ **Detective Tip to Prevent Stains:**
Keep stains away by having kids rinse with water after colorful snacks, brush twice a day, and limit dyed drinks. Firm, crunchy foods like apples and carrots can even help scrub away pigments naturally. πβ¨
