Singh says that swimming in pool water that is excessively chlorinated can erode and stain tooth enamel. "Excessive chlorine lowers the pool's pH level, making it dangerously acidic," he says. So if you're a frequent swimmer, pack a toothbrush along with that towel of yours. "Brushing your teeth and using a fluoride rinse immediately after swimming will help," says the doctor.

I never thought that swimming would change the color of teeth! Very enlightening!

Everything in moderation would help with most of these problems. Also I can't imagine brushing with a hard bristle tooth brush. OUCH!!

There are so many things that I never even considered might be affecting my teeth. I am a diet coke girl and I have no desire to quit drinking it. I hear drinking through a straw is better for your teeth than drinking straight from the can.
