Coffee Smile

Coffee tastes great and it's hard to stop drinking it, however, it stains your teeth and causes coffee smile. Coffee beans have a dark brown color that sinks into teeth. The brown stain causes teeth to darken but it's most noticed on the upper front teeth of coffee drinkers.

Sipping on coffee throughout the day bathes teeth in the coffee stain. Coffee coats the teeth and sinks in. The shorter the time spent drinking coffee, the less chance it has of causing coffee smile. It's best to drink coffee over a short period of time and then rinse with a glass of water.

Fortunately, dental whitening is effective in removing coffee smile. Teeth are made of salt crystals like table salt and tooth crystals are naturally white. Staining is caused when coffee coloring gets inside the salt. Tooth whitening can be effective in removing the stain. It involves soaking the teeth in a liquid that goes into the tooth and dissolves everything not part of the crystal. The result is that the tooth is left with it's natural white color.
