what stains your teeth?
i really want white, and i mean sparkling white teeth!! i've used crest whitening stips, i've used the whitening trays, i have the crest white mouthwash, i brush my teeth twice a day and floss about three times a week. i don't drink coffee, rarely drink pop. so why are my teeth not getting any whiter? if i do drink pop, its like mountain dew, orange or sprite. i heard that only dark pop stains your teeth, is this true? i drink alot of water, juiceboxes, some orange juice, and flavored water would any of these stain my teeth? i'm just getting really annoyed because i don't know whats going on. can someone give me some examples of things that would stain your teeth, or tips to make my teeth whiter without getting them profesionally? thank you so much :)

Fluoride in the water supply will discolor teeth. When I was growing up we lived in a city that fluoridated the water supply. I have yellow stained teeth. I did a google on "does fluoride stain teeth". There were some very interesting articles. Don't know how to whiten them. Hope this gives you a place to start!

1. Soy sauce
2. Berries
3. Curry
4. Coffee
5. Red wine
6. Dark soda
7. Dark fruit juice
8. Tea
9. Extremely hot or cold liquids are dangerous to your white smile because they change the temperature of your teeth. Temperature change causes teeth to expand and contract, allowing stains to penetrate your teeth.
10. Slightly acidic foods open up the pores of the tooth enamel allowing stains to more easily move into your teeth.
11. Tobacco from cigarettes and cigars quickly stains teeth yellow.
also, use a straw. Okay, you may not want to try this with hot coffee, but sipping iced tea, cola, and fruit juices through a plastic straw will reduce your teeth's exposure to these staining beverages.
I use this site for whitening my teeth. Its simple home remedies.
One says, if you simply rub strawberries on your teeth, it will whiten instantly.

Dark soda will stain your teeth,berries,red wine,coffee,acidic foods will open up the pores of the tooth enamel allowing stains to go into your teeth, anything tobacco. Try using a electric toothbrush & a whitening toothpaste, floss your teeth, & also use a antibacterial mouthwash. Crest White strips work to some point. If your teeth are just yellow the Crest White strips will work over time.
Hope I helped !xo
