5 Surprising Foods That Stain Your Teeth (And How to Fix It!)

Everyone wants a brighter, whiter smile, but did you know your daily diet could be standing in the way? While coffee and tea are well-known culprits, some healthy foods can also cause staining. Here are a few surprising items that can dull your smile. 😥

1. ‍Berries: Blueberries, blackberries, and pomegranates are packed with antioxidants, but their deep colours can stick to your tooth enamel.
2. ‍Tomato Sauce: The high acidity and rich red colour in your favourite pasta sauce can lead to staining over time.
3. ‍Soy Sauce & Balsamic Vinegar: Dark sauces and dressings that make food tasty can unfortunately leave their mark on your teeth.‍
4. Curry: The vibrant yellow pigments in curry, a Malaysian favourite, can cause significant yellowing.‍
5. Beetroot: This healthy vegetable has a powerful pigment that can instantly stain teeth.

So, what can you do? You don't have to give up these foods! The key is moderation and management. Try rinsing your mouth with water right after eating them. More importantly, regular professional cleanings at your dentist are crucial to remove surface stains.

For deeper, more stubborn stains, nothing beats a professional teeth whitening treatment. It’s the safest and most effective way to dramatically brighten your smile.
