Is there something I can do to prevent coffee from staining my teeth? Aside from professional whitening?

There isn't much you can do to prevent them, but you CAN remove them. I noticed someone mentioned at home whitening. Yes, they work, but they are expensive and temporary.

Instead, get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy (about $1 for a large bottle) and a box of baking soda from the grocery store (also about $1). Use a little of each on your toothbrush each night. Baking soda does NOT taste good, so I also dip my brush in peroxide, then baking soda (not too much) then toothpaste over top to mask the taste.It tastes a little like soap but you'll get used to it fast and it leaves your mouth feeling SUPER clean.

It'll remove all the surface stains that coffee leaves, but it's not so harsh that it'll make your teeth jumpy and sensitive and damage the enamel. It's a very gentle cleaner, and it does work well. If you can handle the taste, you can also make a peroxide and baking soda paste and use it just like toothpaste, but I personally still need the toothpaste to mask the soapy taste.

Plus just 2 dollars will last you MONTHS where are whitening strips will last you only a few weeks for 40 dollars or so, and they'll leave your mouth very sensitive. Good luck!

Because our teeth have a porous surface, you really are not going to be able to avoid stains. Try brushing your teeth after each drink. Also, have you tried using the at-home whitening treatments?

They have come a long way, and are more budget friendly than some of the professional treatments. Good luck :).

Drink it cold and use a straw...or avoid coffee completely! Because it WILL stain your teefs! What's wrong with Whitening products?

They do work! If you have dental coverage go get bleachings done.

A lot of people say Oil Pulling works. I've used it, and it DOES work. Matter of fact this question has reminded me I really need to do it again!

Brushing teeth regularly or if possible after every cup of coffee. Thanks.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
