Q: Does coffee actually stain my teeth?

Cream is mixing into a glass of iced coffee.

Although you can’t see them, some tiny cracks and holes line your enamel. When darker drinks like coffee, tea and cola seep into these cracks, they can stain the teeth, turning them yellow. Some solutions include drinking a glass of water after a cup of coffee to rinse away what could become future stains or using a whitening toothpaste when brushing.

If you’re interested in reversing the staining effects, both our Garden City Shopping Centre and St. Vital Centre locations offer Phillips Zoom! Whitening, which can whiten your teeth within a 45-minute session. Our staff and dentists can help find the right solution to whiten your smile – contact us today to find out more.
