There are some foods and drinks that a lot of people know stain your teeth. Tea and coffee are two big ones, but there are actually a lot of other things that can stain your teeth. If you’re worried about the appearance and health of your teeth, check out this list.

White Wine

This one is really surprising because a lot of people have heard that red wine is the one that stains your teeth. Although red wine does stain your teeth, some dentists say that white wine might be worse. In order to protect yourself from this, start rinsing your mouth with water after you drink to get rid of the acid.

Sports Drinks

These artificially flavored, sugary sports drinks can really do some damage to your teeth. Not only with the sugar, but the acidity in the drinks combine to weaken your enamel as well as staining your teeth.

Pickled Vegetables

Whether it’s kimchi, pickles, or olives, unfortunately, the acidity from these foods can, in turn, stain your teeth. The other ingredient that is really detrimental to your teeth is the sugar that is often added to the pickling liquid, so to avoid the damage, try to make your own and don’t add in the sugar.
