First things first, put your worries away! We are not about to tell you that your coffee drinking days are over. We know that each shot of caffeine is crucial and we cherish our coffee, too! Here at Natural Smiles Dentistry, we want to educate you on what causes coffee stains and what you can do to fight them.
It’s no secret how Salt Lake City residents feel about their coffee, and we’re not about to get in the way of that love. However, we will help you keep your smile healthy and beautiful with tips that won’t drastically affect your lifestyle. Dr. Thomas Brickey and the rest of us at Natural Smiles Dentistry are your oral health allies!
So let’s start off with the basics. What makes coffee stain your teeth?
Coffee is the one of the biggest offenders when it comes to stained teeth in Salt Lake City, and the discoloration can be so bad it mimics cigarette stains. So what’s the secret? What can you do to keep your teeth shiny, but still get your caffeine fix?
It is best for your oral health and health of your entire body to keep your coffee consumption to a safe limit. An excess of caffeine, regardless of the source, spells negative effects for your heart and stomach and can lead to serious health problems over time. That being said, we won’t tell you to do anything crazy, like quit drinking coffee.
Whitening options come in a variety of forms, whether you choose a professional treatment, or purchase an over-the-counter product (such as strips, gels, or special toothpaste).
Here in our Salt Lake City office, it is our mission to do everything in our power to help you keep in all around (not just oral) perfect health. We at Natural Smiles Dentistry are here to help you choose the best option to make stains disappear and keep your teeth safe from harm.
Should you find yourself with any questions regarding coffee stains, whitening, or anything else, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with Natural Smiles Dentistry today!
