We Indians are Tea lovers and can't live without our favorite chai ! But Tea and coffee are the ones which actually stain your teeth. coffee contains tannin that can cause stains overtime it also helps acidic foods to do  more damage.

2.Indian curries

With so much of turmeric powder and masalas there are greater chances of you staining your teeth with that yellow color.

3.Berries

The strong colors in raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and cranberries, paired with the acidity of the fruits, can cause staining whether they’re eaten whole, as a jam or jelly, or as a juice.

4.Citrus fruits

Like tomato and lemon because of their acidic nature they tend to open up the pores in your teeth exposing the inside layer which is dentin and which is yellow in color. Even the pizza sauce or the spaghetti sauce can also actually stain your teeth.

5.Red wine OR White wine

This may turn the teeth in shades of grey. These grey stains are even   harder to whiten than yellow stains.

 Always rinse your mouth or brush after you eat or drink any of these and visit your Dentist regularly.
