We all know the big culprits when it comes to staining: coffee, tea, soda, and red wine. But did you know it's not their dark colors that cause staining, but their high level of acidity? In fact, Smigel says white wine is generally much more acidic than red and can erode the enamel on your teeth, leaving them vulnerable to staining.

But I love bananas! It's the quickest on the go breakfast! Sad to hear they're not good for the teeth

I swish peroxide in my mouth when I first get in the shower for about thirty seconds. It helps freshen my breathe, whiten my teeth, and kill bacteria!

I need to stay away from all the tea and coffee I drink.

I thought the idea was to whiten the teeth without actually having to use whitening substances... I can go to the dentist and have them perfectly white in a couple of hours, not a month.
