WHITE WINE CAN DARKEN YOUR TEETH!

We all know that red wine can stain our teeth. A new study by New York University researchers found that drinking white wine can also increase the potential for teeth to take on dark stains.

The acids in wine create rough spots and grooves that enable chemicals in other beverages that cause staining, such as coffee and tea, to penetrate deeper into the tooth.

Still, red wine continues to beat out white wine when it comes to staining teeth. The stain is significantly darker compared to White wine, because reds contain a highly pigmented substance known as chromogen.

The best way to prevent staining caused by wine, as well as other beverages, is to use a tooth paste containing a whitening agent.
