British media Daily Mail reported the advice of dentist Dr. Hannah Kinsella to make healthy teeth.
Dr. Kinsella emphasized that `tooth coloring is a problem that patients often worry about.' `It's not that you should never eat certain foods, but that it's important to know and deal with which foods affect.'
According to her, enamel, the outer layer of the tooth, protects the tooth from tooth decay and abrasion, but the porous structure with fine holes can absorb pigments in food or beverages and cause coloring. In particular, when the enamel is worn out, yellow dentine under it can be revealed, making the teeth look more yellow.
Dr. Kinsella said that if you have an implant or laminate procedure, you may be more sensitive to coloring. "As patients have undergone expensive procedures, they should be more careful."," he stressed.
At the same time, Dr. Kinsella cited five typical foods and drinks that pose a risk of coloring.
First of all, wine, especially red wine, corrodes enamel due to its acidity and tannin components and causes pigments to stick to teeth. It is helpful to rinse your mouth with water after drinking.
Among berries, fruits with dark pigments such as blueberries and raspberries can cause coloring due to the double effect of acidity and pigment.
In addition, tomato-based sauces such as spaghetti sauce and ketchup are highly acidic, which can weaken enamel and induce coloring, and fruit juices such as oranges, pomegranates, and cranberries are at high risk of coloring due to their high sugar content, acidity, and dark coloring. It is recommended to use straws to reduce contact with teeth.
In the case of tea and coffee, tannin, a type of plant polyphenol, can penetrate the teeth and cause brown or gray coloring. Drinking milk together helps reduce coloring.
Dr. Kinsella also warned against smoking.
She said "Not only regular cigarettes, but also recent e-cigarettes can have adverse effects on dental health""The sticky chemicals in flavored e-cigarettes can damage teeth, but many people do not recognize it" he said.
